It Is Time To Retreat, Retire — Pro-Democracy Group Tells Atiku
Sodiq Mojibola
A pro-democracy group – The Natives have knocked the Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar saying he should retreat and retire.
Led by their Supreme Leader, Hon. Smart Edwards in a “Thank-you walk” to President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential Villa, on Monday in Abuja, the group warned both Atiku and Peter Obi against molesting the judiciary.
The group argued that if the parties and their candidates have grievances against the results as declared by the INEC they should go to court instead of threatening the peace of the country and its democratic process.
“We have a message for the PDP candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; it is your time to test the court and not intimidate the court. It is your time to retreat and retire or reset and re-contest again if your party is not tired of you.
“Your inability to be consistent in a party like Bola Ahmed Tinubu shows it is all about you alone. No sir, the Supreme Court is not about you, the Appeal Court is not about you, even the Tribunal is not about you, it is about rule of law”, he said.
Edwards added that the candidature of Obi was an asset to APC, explaining that the LP candidate made the election easy for Tinubu to win.
“The Obidients should understand that Asiwaju is a political juggernaut and election strategist. They were all part of the plan because the candidature of Peter Obi was an asset to the APC.
“The Obidients made Tinubu’s victory easy, they all made it possible, it should have been Obi or Tinubu. Tinubu was not in the best position to steal the election but he planned well and worked vigorously for victory”, Edward added.
