‘We’ve Presented Atiku’s Grievances To President Buhari’ – National Peace Committee

The Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar led National Peace Committee members on
Friday held a meeting with President Buhari as a follow-up to a similar
one the committee held with the presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party and his running mate, Peter Obi, over the outcome of
the poll.  

Speaking shortly after the meeting, the former head of state said the
committee presented the grievances of the PDP and Atiku to the
President. The peace committee, which had Cardinal John Onaiyekan and
the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Hassan Matthew Kukah, in
attendance, arrived at the Presidential Villa about 3pm to meet with
Buhari.  

On the discussions at the meeting, the former head of state said,
“Atiku presented his grievances and his observations; he did not present
any condition, he gave his complaints, which we have presented and
discussed with Mr President to see what can be done.”  

Abubakar added that a similar meeting the committee held with Atiku a
day earlier was to see how peace would flow from the presidential
election across Nigeria.  

“Yesterday, l met the PDP presidential candidate and his party in
order to ensure peace. This is what this committee is really after, our
concern is about Nigeria.

And in order to listen to their grievances and what they think has
gone wrong, we are here today to see his Excellency the President to
relay the fears and concerns of the PDP to Mr President. He listened to
us and has taken note of what we have told him,” Abubakar told State
House correspondents.”
