Atiku urges supporters to stop attacking Peter Obi
Atiku Abubakar has called for an end to verbal attacks against Peter Obi among opposition supporters. He warned that infighting only helps the ruling party and weakens efforts to challenge the current administration. The remarks come amid rising tensions and accusations of unfair criticism within the opposition coalition. Both leaders have recently joined the ADC to strengthen the opposition against Bola Tinubu’s government.
