Atiku Defends Peter Obi Over Threat, Says APC Suffocating Opposition

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has come under fire for threatening Peter Obi over his New Year message with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar rising to defend his 2019 presidential running mate, accusing the ruling APC of suffocating opposition elements in the country.

Atiku’s position was premised on the comments made by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, against the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election.
