“Better To Fall Briefly And Rise Than To Be Falling Consistently In Trying To Be President Since 1992 But Still Won't Quit” — Presidential Aide, Segun Dada, fÃres Sh0ts At Atiku Abubakar After He 'Sympathized' With Tinubu For Falling Down On Democracy Day.
In a pointed remark following the incident involving President Bola Tinubu's fall on Democracy Day, Segun Dada, a presidential aide, has taken a sharp dig at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Dada's comment comes after Abubakar publicly sympathized with Tinubu for his stumble during the national event.
Dada remarked, "Better to fall briefly and rise than to be falling consistently in trying to be president since 1992 but still won't quit." This statement directly targets Abubakar's long-running and so far unsuccessful bids for the presidency, highlighting his persistence despite repeated failures.
The exchange underscores the tension and rivalry between the political figures, especially as Nigeria navigates its current political landscape. Abubakar, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, has been a recurring candidate in presidential elections for decades, a fact Dada sharply highlighted in his response.
President Tinubu's fall, which occurred during a public appearance, has sparked a range of reactions, from concern for his health to political jabs from opponents. Dada’s comment adds fuel to the ongoing political discourse, framing Abubakar's extensive but unsuccessful presidential campaigns in a critical light.
