The camp of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has mocked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over its recent warning to ministers and senior government functionaries against stoking division in the party.
The APC issued the warning in a Monday statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, to discourage speculation over President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 running mate.
The party charged ministers, senior government and party officials to avoid, wittingly or unwittingly, stoking needless speculations.
It advised them “to focus on their primary duty of diligent service to government and our way party, and bolster the success and achievements of President Tinubu, our inimitable and visionary leader”.
