The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Sunday said the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will disunite Nigeria if elected next president.
The party said this in reaction to a controversial remark reportedly made by Atiku during the Arewa town hall policy dialogue in Kaduna Saturday.
In a viral video of the event, Atiku said: “What the average Northerner needs is somebody who is from the North; he doesn’t need a Yoruba candidate or an Ibo candidate.”
“What the average Northerner needs is somebody who is from the north and also understands that part of the country and has been able to build bridges across the country. This is what the Northerner needs, it doesn’t need a Yoruba or Igbo candidate. I stand before you as a Pan-Nigerian of northern origin,” Atiku was reported to have said.
