Laolu Akande, former media aide to ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Friday said Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu belong to the same school of thought.
Speaking on Channels Television’s programme, Inside Sources, Akande berated Atiku for accusing Tinubu of attempting to slide Nigeria into a one-party state.
Akande explained that Atiku destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, by going against the party’s rotational arrangement.
However, he also observed that Atiku and Tinubu belong to the same political school of thought, as they see power as a means for personal advantage.
He said: “Let me give you a picture of where our political elites are today, so we have the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who destroyed the PDP by assaulting the national consensus on rotational presidency. He is now accusing President Bola Tinubu and his party of orchestrating a one-party state in Nigeria.
“That is the President (Tinubu) under his watch, we have an INEC leadership claiming as though it doesn’t understand its role to be neutral as an umpire.
“So you can ask which is which? Both of them (Atiku and Tinubu) belong to the school of thought that sees political power as an end to justifying the need, they just see power as something that is more to their advantage rather than something that is meant to transform the lives of the people.
“They are not significantly different especially regarding the sensibility of the Nigerian people, their tactics and strategies might differ but our quest for a new Nigeria is far more important and is greater than all those milky business that I have described, therefore, we must proceed regardless of the antics of our politicians to take sides on any matter that may influence the future of our country such as what is on the ground now.
“We must separate partisan narratives from the main issues that affect the future of our country.”
