Statement On INEC Server: Handiwork Of Mischief Makers To Mar My Spotless Pro-democratic Records -Atiku

BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democraic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general election, Atiku Abubakar ha debunked statement credited to him alleging that he plans to lead a street protest in the event that the election petition tribunal rules against him and his party on the issue of a server for the Independent National Electoral Commission. 

The former Vice President stressed emphatically that such a statement did not emanate from him or his privies.

In a statement by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku said it is the work of mischief makers who want to mar his spotless pro-democratic record and lay the ground work for their threatened actions against him on false charges of being a threat to national security.

Ibe said; “For the avoidance of doubt, Atiku Abubakar believes in the Rule of Law and in the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In his almost four decades in politics, he has never taken action or spoken words against democracy and will not start now. 

“Atiku Abubakar and his team have confidence in God and thus call on those bent on mischief to have the fear of God and retrace their steps. Democracy has come to stay in Nigeria. The culture of fear being created now cannot rein in our democracy.

“Nigeria and Nigerians have a consistent history of outlasting tyranny and will continue to do so by the grace of God.”
