People's Democratic Party (PDP) has asked President Buhari to stop gloating and showboating on Nigerians with what they described to be "stolen mandate".
According to PDP, Atiku Abubakar would soon
retrieve the stolen mandate from Buhari at the tribunal. The party said this in a statement released by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan.
PDP has described president Buhari's blame game on PDP past administrations as a lame attempt to divert public attention from the overwhelming evidence that the Presidential election held on 23rd February was rigged to their favour in other obstruct the clear winner, Atiku Abubakar, from going to court to reclaim the mandate he was given freely to by Nigerians.
It indeed speaks volumes that President Buhari, in his claimed integrity and anti-corruption stance, is grandstanding over the violent rigging of the elections and his attempt to foist himself into a second term in office on the pedestal of stolen votes.
President Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) should know that the PDP and Nigerians are focused and will not be distracted by any sort of blackmail in the pursuit of the mandate and we are confident that our justices will never allow an illegitimate government to sit over the affairs of our dear nation.
Moreover, if anybody has a question to answer on the administration of the nation’s resources, it is President Buhari, who has not been able to offer any explanation on the looting of over N14 trillion from revenue generating agencies in a space of three years under his direct supervision.
We ask; was it the PDP that siphoned over N9 trillion, through underhand contracts, as detailed in the leaked NNPC memo, in the same sector President Buhari directly supervises as Minister of Petroleum Resources?
Was it the PDP that stole the over N1.1 trillion worth of crude illegally lifted and diverted with 18 unregistered companies in 2017; the over N1.4 trillion in fraudulent oil subsidy regime and many more scams, including funds meant for the welfare of victims of insurgency in the North East under the Buhari administration?
Whereas the PDP administrations created wealth and applied our national resources on massive infrastructural development in all critical sectors; paid off our huge foreign and domestic debts and grew our economy to be one of fastest growing in the world, President Buhari, within a space of three years ran our economy into recession and cannot point to any development project his administration initiated and completed despite the huge opportunities at his disposal.
President Buhari must note that Nigerians are no longer interested in his incompetence and blame game and this is the very reason they voted massively against him on February 23. He should therefore end his diversionary tactics and get ready to meet the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in court.
Minding the fact that Some political parties and other PDP members have told Atiku to accept defeat and work with the ruling party for peace and prosperity of the nation, do you think Atiku should still take this matter to court? Let's see your own view based on this "stolen mandate issue".
