In a social media exchange, Segun Dada, a presidential aide, subtly criticizes Atiku Abubakar's persistent presidential aspirations since 1992. Dada's remarks highlight the political tensions surrounding Nigeria's upcoming elections and underscore Atiku's enduring ambition despite past defeats.

In a social media exchange, Segun Dada, Special Assistant to President Tinubu, took a veiled dig at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's prolonged pursuit of the presidency.

Dada's response came after Atiku expressed concern for President Tinubu's slip at a recent event, prompting Dada to remark, "Better to fall briefly and rise than to be falling consistently in trying to be president since 1992 but still won't quit."

As political analysts dissect Dada's statement and its implications, the exchange underscores the ongoing power struggles and rivalries shaping Nigerian politics ahead of the upcoming elections.
