“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 Criticizes Atiku Abubakar’s Sympathy for Tinubu

Segun Dada, Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Social Media, has taken a jab at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

This comes in response to Atiku’s post on X, where he extended his sympathies to President Tinubu after Tinubu slipped at the Democracy Day parade.

Atiku had questioned if all was well with President Tinubu, prompting Dada to retort sharply:

“Thank you, Alhaji Koojoli. Better to fall briefly and rise than to be falling consistently in trying to be president since 1992 but still won’t quit.”

Dada’s comment highlights the ongoing political rivalry and clearly explains the contentious atmosphere in Nigerian politics, where even gestures of goodwill are met with sharp rebukes.
