Abuja, Nigeria – The wahala don start as Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Public Communication and Social Media, open mouth to talk about Atiku Abubakar leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This one no be small matter o, as Atiku, wey be former Vice President, don show face for resignation letter wey he write on July 16, 2025, gbas gbos! The letter, e go direct to the Chairman for him Jada 1 Ward for Adamawa State, say the matter no dey sweet anymore, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ wey make am feel like say e dey break heart as founding father of PDP.
The koko for Olayinka talk dey happen after him sit down for Channels Television morning show, Sunrise Daily. E no waste time to drop the bomb say Atiku leaving PDP na better thing, as e talk say, ‘good riddance to bad rubbish.’ Na wetin be this? As he use Hausa proverb talk, it mean say ‘sai gobe,’ meaning next time better things go land.
E even add joke say the headline fit be ‘Atiku Abubakar leaves PDP again,’ wey fit make sense tru tru because na so e don dey do since 2007! Like paddy wey don waka go front and back, Olayinka say with Atiku don run, PDP fit settle down regain balance. But no be so fast sha, because he don already say e don late sha, ‘Atiku na like weapon wey dey fight PDP itself.’
Now, talking on the alliance wey Atiku dey pursue with African Democratic Congress, Olayinka drop some shade say the man fit come back to PDP again if the new waka no gree am well. Na so we dey see am, as e come dey reminisce about 2003 when Atiku frustrate PDP’s chance to win Lagos State. See as e dey dig up history like say Naija no dey suffer wahala for dem to shine.
Olayinka no dey mince words. E remind everybody say Atiku na the first sitting Vice President wey carry him bag go another party during election – e wey fit make anybody wonder if na doctor don prescribes presidency for am or wetin. Atiku dey do politics like say na him be Atiku and Abubakar na the main characters for show.
As e dey gist continue, Olayinka don dey throw jabs for Atiku release him resignation letter when the country still dey mourn former President Muhammadu Buhari death. ‘How person go dey that desperate?’ na di question wey dey hang for air. E dey urge PDP to gather their house make everything dey alright, but e also drop the reality say their show fit no be better for next year election.
Egbon, all this politics na serious matter o. E no easy to manage friendships wey don collect glue from misunderstanding. But one thing sure be say, anywhere Atiku go carry his mat, attention go dey follow am. Na so e be for Naija.
