Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, has revealed that he is still friends with his main challenger and All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

This was stated by Atiku during an exclusive interview with Arise TV, which aired on Friday morning.

When asked about his friendship with Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, Atiku stated that despite their political differences, they remain friends.

“I’m still a friend of him and being friends with him doesn’t mean we can’t have our political differences,” Atiku said.

Asked about the potential threat of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to his presidential ambition in the 2023 elections, Atiku clarified that social media presence and acceptability won’t win him (Obi) election.

He noted that despite the social media sensation and acceptability of Obi’s candidacy, the reality remains that the LP does not have people in government or the National Assembly.

“The Labour Party does not have a government in any state or anyone in the National Assembly. Peter Obi is not a threat. They said they have 1 million votes in Osun on social media. Meanwhile, 90 percent of voters are not voting through social media,” Atiku said.
