Atiku Abubakar. |
Dear
citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, As you know, the Independent
National Electoral Commission has announced a postponement of the elections
until 23 February and 9 March respectively.
The
Buhari administration has had more than enough time and money to prepare for
these elections and the Nigerian people were poised and ready to perform their
civic responsibility by voting in the elections earlier scheduled for Saturday,
16 February, 2019.
This postponement is obviously a case of the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. By instigating this postponement, the Buhari administration hopes to disenfranchise the Nigerian electorate in order to ensure that turn out is low on the rescheduled date. Nigerians must frustrate their plans by coming out in even greater numbers on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively.
Knowing that the Nigerian
people are determined to reject them, they are desperate and will do anything
in their power to avoid their rejection by the Nigerian people.
Their plan is to provoke
the public, hoping for a negative reaction, and then use that as an excuse for
further anti-democratic acts.
As such, I call on all Nigerians to be
patient. We have tolerated the maladministration of this government for four
years. We can extend our tolerance a few more days and give them our verdict
via our votes.
Maintain the peace and be law abiding.
Do not react to this provocation with anger, violence or any action that might
be exploited by those who do not want this election to hold. Remain calm. We
will overcome this. You can postpone an election, but you cannot postpone
destiny.
Please come out to vote on
Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively. Frustrate those who
do not want this election to hold by coming out in very large numbers. That is
the best antidote to their plans.
May God bless you and may God bless the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
