The All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused the presidential candidates of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, alongside Obi’s running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, of engaging in political grandstanding.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, made the accusation on Tuesday while speaking during an interview on TVC’s Beyond The Headlines.

Morka specifically criticised the three opposition figures as political actors seeking to present themselves as alternatives ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He argued that Kwankwaso, a former Kano State governor, was part of the political establishment that contributed to the challenges currently confronting Nigerians.

According to the APC spokesman, Kwankwaso therefore cannot be presented as the fresh political direction the country needs.

Morka maintained that the political records of the opposition figures should be considered when assessing their claims and proposals ahead of the 2027 election.

According to Morka: “Kwankwaso, a new direction to where? And I will offer an answer: a new direction to nowhere. This election is not about making empty buzzwords and speaking as though he just dropped from the sky.

“He has been and remains a part and parcel of the Nigerian establishment, so whatever is going on today, Kwankwaso was a frontline contributor to the challenges that we are facing today; he is by every standard.

“So when men like Atiku, Kwankwaso, Peter Obi, and some of these elements of the opposition come out to grandstand, I don’t need to say much because I think that Nigerians understand what they are up to.

“Simply throwing around; these words mean nothing. Nigerians know that this country, over generations, was severely misgoverned, not just by the military dictatorship but by Democrats who wielded authority in this country; they didn’t serve the country well and Nigerians know that.”
