The All-Progressives Congress (APC) has told the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, that Nigeria is greater than his unrealized ambition to be president.

Hours after the press briefing, the APC, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the country has moved on.

It claimed that the PDP candidate had missed the opportunity to use his press conference to “redeem his prestige as an elder and statesman by rising above political pettiness and offering befitting congratulations to President Tinubu on his electoral victory.

The party added that rather than vindicate him, history will not forget Atiku’s unwillingness to put the country first and above his political ambition.

In a separate statement, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Atiku must now end what he described as an “unprofitable” bid to become the President of Nigeria.

Onanuga said there was no way Atiku and the PDP could have won the election with the party platform under which he contested, broken into four parts.
