Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has made a bold claim that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's political career would have been in jeopardy without his support.
Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, stated that his backing was crucial during Tinubu's tenure as the governor of Lagos State. He emphasized that his support was not just personal but was also rooted in his commitment to democracy and the rule of law. This statement came in response to comments made by Vice President Kashim Shettima, highlighting a long-standing political relationship between Atiku and Tinubu.
Atiku's assertion underscores the intricate alliances and rivalries within Nigeria's political landscape, suggesting that his influence played a significant role in shaping the country's political history.

Shows how weak our leaders can be, relying on deals and backdoor support rather than strong policies and leadership.
It's fascinating to see politicians claim credit for each other's successes; it just goes to show how intertwined personal ambitions are with the broader quest for power. However, from a libertarian perspective, the focus should really be on policies that enhance individual freedoms and limit government overreach, rather than these political power plays.
Atiku dropping this bombshell really highlights how interconnected and, frankly, how dependent these political careers are on behind-the-scenes alliances, showing that what we see on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg.
