Nigeria Greater Than Your Ambition To Be President – APC Knocks Atiku
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as a serial loser.
APC spokesman, Felix Morka, said Nigeria was greater than Atiku’s unrealised presidential ambition.
Morka was responding to Atiku’s world press conference on Monday, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that upheld President Bola Tinubu’s election.
Following his defeat at the apex court, Atiku said the judiciary has become the “lost hope” of the common man.
He also claimed that incontrovertible evidence showed that Tinubu broke the law by submitting a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, Morka said Atiku should accept defeat as a statesman.
A statement by Morka said: “It is delusional for Atiku, and his degenerate PDP, to have expected the courts to rely on their bogus, flimsy, unverifiable, uncorroborated, illogical and hearsay evidence to upturn an election that was conducted in substantial compliance with the Constitution and electoral laws of our land.
“Thankfully, it does not lie in Atiku’s mouth to declare what constitutes ‘incontrovertible evidence’.
“That is the constitutional duty of the courts, which they have discharged honorably and creditably.
“For a serial election loser whose life ambition is to rule the country, we understand how pained and utterly distraught Atiku must be.
“Atiku, you are right that this is not and cannot be all about you. Yes, it is about Nigeria. Nigeria is greater than your unrealized ambition to be president. Nigeria must move and has moved on.”

Texas: Seven Dead As Storm Hits Houston
The death toll from severe weather that lashed the Texas city of Houston has risen to seven, authorities said Friday.
The three additional deaths came after Houston, the fourth-largest US city, was hit Thursday by heavy rain and winds up to 100 miles (160 kilometers) per hour, leaving downtown streets covered in glass from blown-out windows.
Downed trees and power lines littered residential areas and the National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down in the suburb of Cypress.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the new victims included an 85-year-old woman who died after her mobile home was struck by lightning and caught fire.
A 60-year-old man was found unresponsive and pronounced dead after going to his truck to try and power his oxygen tank, after electricity was cut across wide swaths of the storm-hit area.
And a 57-year-old man collapsed and died after trying to move a downed power pole.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire said Thursday after the storm that four people died, though specifics were not immediately available.
Schools in Houston, home to 2.3 million people with an economy centered around oil and petrochemicals, were closed on Friday and non-essential workers urged to stay home.
