The Presidency, yesterday said that President Goodluck Jonathan was not threatened by the presidential ambitions of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar on the platform of APC should he decide to contest in 2015.
Reacting to yesterday’s declaration by Buhari and an earlier one by Atiku, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, told State House correspondents that both Buhari and Atiku had been unsuccessful in their previous shots at the presidency, noting that the latest at­tempt would not be different.
According to Okupe, “the declaration by the opposition is not really something new. Most of the candidates of the opposition are serial failures. Atiku has tried twice and has failed, Buhari has done it four times and he has failed. If you present yourself for an election, first, second, third and fourth times, what new things are they bringing? Have they gone to school or are they bringing new things. We are absolutely unperturbed. The president is going to contest against serial losers.
“People who never win election. People who have no leadership quality and it is even now worse for them because this President has been given four years platform in which he has demonstrated his administrative capa­bility, efficiency and delivery. It is unargu­able that these people in the APC, it is a new and good party, they would become.
