Stop Gloating, Atiku Will Soon Reclaim His Mandate – PDP Tells President Buhari

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked President Buhari to stop
gloating and showboating on Nigerians with what they described as “the
stolen 2019 Presidential mandate”.

According to PDP,  the ‘people’s candidate’, Atiku Abubakar would
soon retrieve the presidential mandate from Buhari at the tribunal. The
party said this in a statement released by its spokesperson, Kola
Ologbondiyan. Read below

The party further describes President Buhari’s renewed attack and
blame game on PDP administrations as a lame attempt to divert public
attention from the overwhelming evidence that he rigged the elections,
as well as from the plots by his Presidency to obstruct the clear
winner, Atiku Abubakar, from going to the tribunal to reclaim the
mandate freely given to him 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.
