The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has pushed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the same position he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This was as he revealed that Atiku's influence in the ADC has made the party afraid to zone its presidential ticket.

Keyamo also took a swipe at former presidential candidate Peter Obi for joining the ADC, claiming his move will only get him a VP ticket under an Atiku candidacy.

He wrote on X, "So, there is no hiding place for the opposition, just like there is no hiding place for the ruling party. Let the neck-pressing continue without letup:

"The ADC is scared to clearly ZONE its Presidential ticket, like the other major parties (PDP and APC) have done, because the party belongs to one man called Atiku Abubakar @atiku. It is the EXACT corner that Atiku pushed PDP to in 2023 that ADC now finds itself - the inability to zone its Presidential ticket. In a highly sensitive country like Nigeria, any pan-Nigerian Party MUST be clear as to zoning. The APC Governors did so in 2023 and triumphed. The PDP is still reeling from that disastrous decision in 2023.

"ATIKU wants to camouflage with Peter Obi and surreptitiously secure his votes and become President on a flawed template that will damage our fragile unity as a nation. And Peter Obi is supporting this contraption for selfish reasons - throwing the entire country under the bus for a mess of pottage called a VP ticket. He will soon learn in a hard way.

"Commiserations to the naive Obi supporters who are being led into a dead end by wily, old warhorses in politics. They will all come back to thank us later after the disaster to which they are all heading."
