Joe Igbokwe, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has downplayed allegations of an alliance between former vice president Atiku Abubakar and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 elections.
Earlier reports said that Obi had accepted Atiku’s offer to run as his vice presidential candidate.
Igbokwe responded in a Facebook post on Monday, claiming that the alignment will not fly and cannot be sold.
He mocked the agreement, labeling it as infantile and unsophisticated. Igbokwe claimed it was merely an act of desperation.
According to him, “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s childish and primitive deal with the Labour Party is laughable and kindergarten.”

“It is an act of desperation.” “It can’t fly or sell.”
Meanwhile, Igbokwe has maintained that Nigerian traders are to blame for rising food commodity prices.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Igbokwe alleged that traders are too greedy to let prices fall.
The political commentator claimed that while food prices are statistically falling, they have yet to show in market pricing because to dealers’ wickedness.
Igbokwe lamented that Nigerians are their own worst enemies.
He wrote, “Food and commodity prices are dropping, yet Nigerians will not support Nigerians.
“Our greed, depravity, and avaricious impulses are not part two. We are our own worst enemies. Nigerians steal what they don’t need.
