‘Horse-trading over presidency they don’t have’ — Felix Morka tackles Kwankwaso for saying he’ll take care of Atiku

 Felix Morka, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
spokesperson, has criticised Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the running mate to Peter
Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), over his
remark about the 2023 elections.

 

On Monday, Kwankwaso asked Atiku to drop his presidential
ambition and support him and Obi in the 2027 elections.

Kwankwaso asked Atiku to step aside from the presidential
race due to his age and health, adding that they will take care of the former
vice-president if the NDC wins the election.

Reacting in an X post on Saturday, Morka said the opposition
was negotiating the presidency they had yet to win.

“At last, the veil comes off … behold the whited sepulchre …
they pretend to be saints on the outside but filled with stench of corruption
and malignant hypocrisy on the inside,” he wrote.

Morka said Nigerian voters would determine the outcome of
the 2027 presidential election, adding that the opposition would not emerge
victorious.

“Horse trading with the presidency they do not have, and
will not have, by the sovereign will of the Nigerian electorate, come 2027,”
Morka said.

Atiku, who will turn 81 next year, has said the 2027
election will be his final attempt at the presidency.

He had contested the presidential election on three
occasions — in 2007, 2019 and 2023 respectively.
