World Press Conference: Tinubu's aide aims dig at Atiku over absent PDP governors

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has been tackled by one of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's aides over his world press conference in Abuja on Thursday, October 5.

Atiku and other chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) converged in Abuja to answer questions from journalists following his ongoing legal battle with President Tinubu over the authenticity of his academic records from Chicago State University (CSU).

Though accompanied by other top stalwarts of the PDP, Atiku's press conference was without a single state governor under the party's platform.

Reacting to this development, the special assistant to President Tinubu on social media, Olusegun Dada, said it isn't good luck for Atiku to stage a press conference without the presence of a single PDP governor.

Dada stated this in a post via his X handle, formerly known as Twitter.

He wrote: "Seeing him sit alone with not even one Governor from his party in what is purported a "World Press Conference" isn't a good look for him."

Dada also stated that Atiku needs to heal and get over his loss against President Tinubu, who won the presidential polls with just a single attempt against Atiku's six shots at the presidency.

He wrote: "It is not PBAT's fault that he won the Presidency on his first try. Alhaji Atiku needs to heal tbh."
