The APC council argues that Atiku's conduct has failed to uphold the decorum expected of a former Vice President and someone seeking the presidency. Atiku has repeatedly called Tinubu by his first name and described his administration as a \"Yahoo Yahoo\" government, accusing it of dishonesty. The APC council has expressed its displeasure in a statement, emphasizing the importance of maintaining civility in political engagement. Despite the criticism, the APC council urged its members and supporters to respect Atiku's former position and status as a presidential candidate.",
