The recent feud between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu has brought to light the complex interplay between political ambitions and personal relationships with a top serving presidential aide firing Atiku for alleged betrayal of the once solid political, business, and personal bond between them.

A statement from Temitope Ajayi, the Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Media and Publicity, sheds light on the deep-seated animosity between the two political heavyweights. Ajayi’s assertion not only questions the decency of Atiku but also highlights the sacrifices and support Tinubu had extended to his former friend in the past.

The crux of the matter lies not in President Tinubu’s academic credentials but in the erosion of a once-solid friendship. According to Ajayi, Atiku’s relentless pursuit of power has led him down a path of disregarding the loyalty and camaraderie that once defined their relationship. He recounted the days when Tinubu provided shelter to Atiku, offering solace during political storms, particularly after Atiku’s fallout with President Obasanjo and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2007.

The phrase ‘aleni mo deyin,’ meaning a relentless pursuer in Ekiti dialect, resonates with the sentiment expressed by Ajayi. It paints a picture of Atiku’s unwavering pursuit of power, even at the cost of jeopardizing longstanding friendships.

This revelation opens a window into the intricate dynamics of Nigerian politics, where alliances are formed and shattered based on political ambitions. As the nation watches the unfolding drama, it raises questions about the sacrifices individuals are willing to make in the pursuit of power and the toll it takes on personal relationships.

Nigerians rushed to the comment section of Temitope Ajayi’s post to share their views on the perceived betrayal of Tinubu by Atiku, his friend and alleged business partner.

While some suggested that Atiku shouldn’t have gone so deep in attacking Tinubu, some view the development as a normal thing which is expected; linking it to the saying that twenty Children cannot be together for twenty years.

Here is how some responded to the claim of betrayal of Tinubu supposedly by Atiku as gathered by GWG.ng:

@Tj_Insuranceman: When they say politics is dirty; it’s indeed grossly filthy

@maaziozzy said “So, in essence, what you are saying is that a homeboy no suppose cast him paddy wey get dark past, abi?, good to know, we are getting there slowly”.

@Salawueedris: We have to understand that friends who possess the same interests might betray one another in the future if feud arises.

@EmekaNjida: Have you now seen what Obasanjo meant in his book about Atiku?

@Deji_Dokun: What if Atiku and Tinubu plotted this political drama? Don’t mind me; that’s just how I sometimes think.
