PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan has taken a swipe at former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for apparently celebrating last week’s loss of Osun State by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the rival Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), courtesy of Ibadan Appeal Court ruling, which declared Alhaji Rauf Aregbesola as the duly elected governor of the state.

Atiku had in his reaction to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s apparent derisive disposition towards his emergence as the preferred candidate for the North selected by the Adamu Ciroma-led Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF), proclaimed that he was having the last laugh following the court’s judgment on Osun State.

It followed the I dey laugh ke ke ke ke comment made by Obasanjo when State House correspondents sought his impression of the selection of Atiku by the Ciroma committee.

But in his reaction to the loss of Osun State by the PDP, Atiku stated: we too de laugh ooo, even when he is a member of the PDP.

President Jonathan has now reacted to that, saying that it was sad that a member of the PDP should celebrate the loss of any of its states, pointing out that loyalty could not be bought in the market.

Even though he failed to mention Atiku by name in a posting on his Facebook profile on Sunday, Jonathan said he found it hard to believe that any member of the party would express happiness over the development to the extent of laughing.

Blazay:

Well, serves you right Jonathan.
OBJ should not have scoffed at Atiku publicly either.
Respect begets respect.
If he valued Atiku as a PDP member also, you all should have settled behind closed doors.

But as 'sh***t' don hit fan na, no going back.
You are going to be stuck in the middle for a very long time between those heavy-weights.
Kpeke o. Next time, look before you leap with OBJ.

PDP's loss is Atiku's gain.
