Atiku trolls APC on Twitter
Atiku Abubakar delivered a subliminal swipe at the All Progressives Congress Saturday, barely a day after dumping the ruling party.
The former vice president joked about his former party’s 2015 campaign tactics after a user wrongly captioned a picture of him taken some years back.
The user, U.S.-based Nigerian literary critic Ikhide Ikheloa, had fawned over the photo he thought depicted Mr. Atiku as drinking garri, saying he would vote for the former vice-president in 2019.
Mr. Abubakar is expected to contest the 2019 election, although he is yet formally declare or join a new party since leaving the APC.
“No sir, it’s cornflakes,” the former vice president said.
He then went further to explain that: “The photo was taken in 2014, when it was compulsory to post our food on Twitter and Instagram.”
