A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, alleged that Atiku Abubakar murdered and buried the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, said Nigeria owes Atiku a debt of gratitude for destroying the party.

His statement was contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Friday.

Recall that Atiku, who contested against Bola Tinubu of the APC, is challenging his declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as the president-elect.

Meanwhile, Fani-Kayode claimed Atiku ensured the PDP would never rise again.

He wrote, “One thing we can’t take from @atiku, the Waziri Adamawa, is the fact that he single-handedly did what no-one else managed to do since 1999: he murdered & buried the PDP & ensured that it can NEVER be resurrected or rise again. For this alone Nigeria owes him a debt of gratitude.”
