What has this got to do with the topic under discussion??

You people seem to...let me stop here because if I say what is in my mind, Nairaland moderators plus spam bot go join hands ban me.

So what exactly did the Nigerian Consulate 'clarify'? What is the story behind this coronation?

In 2023, the Kano State APC gubernatorial candidate secured 896,705 votes, losing to Abba Kabir Yusuf of the Kwankwasiya, who scored 1,019,602 votes.

Immediately after the election and subsequent court cases, Tinubu not APC or Ganduje, abandoned him and treated him as a liability.

Today, Gawuna is in active consultations to join Kwankwaso, while APC not Tinubu, keeps trying to reach him.

He has even put his number on DND.

Kwankwaso is looking in the direction of Nasiru Gawuna, the candidate of the APC in 2023, who was defeated by his anointed candidate and current governor under the NNPP.

ME: The APC 2023 candidate will be contesting in NNPP in 2027.

While

The NNPP candidate in 2023 will be APC candidates in 2027 [re-election]

Unless you want to lie to yourself, you will see the obvious momentum on the side of the coalition. Isa Ashiru, the man who 'won' the Kaduna Guber election in 2023 just joined the coalition. The North West is aligning. More political lessons ahead.

HERE WE GO!

PRESS RELEASE

Atiku alerts on efforts by anti-democratic elements to create confusion, dampen momentum of ADC

*Says insinuations he has quit active politics is fake news

We wish to state, for the record, that information circulating on social media about a purported meeting of His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, with stakeholders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in which the former Vice President allegedly decided to “step aside and retire from active politics,” is entirely false and deliberately misleading.

The Waziri Adamawa has not in recent times held any such meeting with ADC stakeholders at the national level. The only recent engagement he had was with stakeholders of the ADC in Adamawa State last Thursday.

An issue as fundamental and consequential as exiting active politics cannot, and would never, be communicated through rumours, faceless sources, or third-party fabrication. Such a decision, if ever taken, would be formally conveyed through the Atiku Media Office.

This latest falsehood bears all the hallmarks of a coordinated disinformation campaign designed to create confusion, dampen momentum, and mislead the Nigerian public.

Only the government and its agents could have sponsored this desperate narrative out of fear of what is coming.

We state without equivocation that this mischief is being driven by anti-democratic elements who are deeply unsettled by the growing national consensus to rescue Nigeria from the failures of the current administration.

We therefore urge supporters of Atiku Abubakar, members of the ADC, and all well-meaning Nigerians to disregard this fake news in its entirety and remain focused on the collective effort to reclaim and rebuild our nation.
