The
Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice
President of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar on Thursday, 28 February met with the
National Peace Committee.
The National Peace Committee was
represented at the meeting which took place in his residence in Abuja by former
military Head of State, Gen. Abdulasalami Abubakar (Chairman), John Cardinal
Onaiyekan and Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah.
The
PDP presidential candidate was represented by himself, his Vice Presidential
candidate, Peter Obi, Senate President and DG of PDP Presidential Campaign
Council, Sen. Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara and National Chairman of PDP Prince Uche Secondus.
Atiku and his team reaffirmed that the
presidential election of 23 February was the worst in the history of the
country since the return to democracy in 1999.
According to him, the sham election was
marked by militarization of the process, vote suppression, intimidation, and
collaboration of security agencies, INEC and the ruling party to subvert the
will of Nigerians.
Ahead of the 9 March governorship and
state house of assembly election, the Atiku Abubakar team called for the
unconditional release of all those illegally arrested and detained for
political reasons. They also called for the non deployment of the military in
compliance with constitutional provisions and the subsisting judgement of the
court.
The issue of Atiku Abubakar and his
party’s recourse to legitimate actions to reclaim his stolen mandate was not
discussed at the meeting, but restates that as a democrat, he will follow laid
down constitutional and democratic procedures to challenge the electoral
malfeasance committed by APC in cohort with INEC.
Atiku Abubakar further urges Nigerians
to come out en masse and vote in the 9 March gubernatorial and state house of
assembly elections for the PDP candidates and stay to defend their votes up to
collation point.
