Atiku Abubakar. |
Dear
citizens of our beloved country, Nigeria, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, told
us previously that he has verifiable and incontrovertible evidence to show that
the last Presidential elections were fraudulent, not credible and did not
reflect the will of the Nigerian people, and he has been vindicated by the
response of the All Progressives Congress and its candidate, President
Muhammadu Buhari, to his petition to the Electoral Tribunal hearing the
petition he filed.
The former Vice
President based his case on facts and statistical evidence and challenged both
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the APC, to disprove
his factual submissions.
The fact that the APC
chose to base its defence on the ridiculous assertion that the Waziri Adamawa
is not a Nigerian should show to Nigerians the type of characters we have in
the APC and its government, whose legitimacy runs out on May 29, 2019.
The position of the APC
is so pedestrian and shows such straw clutching desperation on their part, that
I shall not dignify it with an answer. Our lawyers would, of course, do the
needful in court. But the point I want to draw the attention of
Nigerians to is that both the APC and its candidate have by this infantile
logic admitted to the fact that they trampled on the will of Nigerians and that
their only defence is to attempt an unconstitutional redefinition of the term
‘Nigerian’.
I am, however, confident in the Nigerian judiciary, as well
as in the Nigerian people. I trust that the Tribunal will treat such a claim
with the contempt it deserves. We must maintain our fidelity to the rule of law
and to our fountain of origin, the 1999 Nigerian Constitution (as amended).
Atiku Abubakar has served our nation diligently in various
capacities, form the civil service, where he rose through merit, to the top of
his chosen field, to public service, where, by the grace of God, he was the
Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Moreover, he has
committed his assets and talents to developing our nation through the provision
of tens of thousands of direct jobs and hundreds of thousands of indirect jobs.
I make bold to state that those who have made Nigeria the
world headquarters for extreme poverty are the very people whose Nigerianness
should be in doubt, and not a man, who worked with President Olusegun Obasanjo
to double the per capita Income of our nation in less than eight years.
