Don’t Rejoice Over My Loss; You Also Could Not Claim Victory In The Senatorial Elections — Atiku to G-5

Following the loss of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the February 25 presidential elections to his counterpart, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a spokeswoman for the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign council has come out to castigate the five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, warning them not to gloat over the loss of the PDP candidate in the February 25 general elections since some of them also lost their senatorial elections.

This statement is coming after Dino Melaye foretold Wike, the Rivers State governor, to “bury his head in shame,” citing how some members of his G-5 group also failed in the just-concluded election.

Reacting to his Twitter handle, he wrote, “The G5, who could not deliver themselves for their Senate bid, cannot be the ones claiming glory in the purported Atiku loss.” “Even Wike’s outside thuggery and coercion of INEC officials had nothing to contribute to APC votes in Rivers.”
