We Didn’t Market Atiku To You, We Marketed You With Atiku And Brought You To Where You Are -Showunmi
My fellow Nigerians, political tensions within the opposition are escalating again and this latest statement has stirred fresh controversy across the country.
Segun Showunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has made a bold claim that Peter Obi’s rise in national politics was significantly supported by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and his camp.
Can you imagine such a statement in today’s political climate?
The full remark is clearly reflected in the underlined part above — and Nigerians are already reacting strongly after reading it. The conversation online is intense, emotional, and sharply divided.
According to Showunmi, Obi was brought into national prominence through his association with Atiku during the 2019 political process, where he served as a running mate.
He argued that the coalition effort at the time helped elevate Obi’s visibility across Nigeria.
What do you think?
He further accused Obi of showing impatience within current opposition structures, insisting that the political foundation being discussed was built through years of effort by multiple stakeholders before Obi’s involvement.
Across Lagos, Abuja, and other parts of Nigeria, reactions are pouring in. Supporters of both sides are clashing over the narrative.
