Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, has expressed concerns about a potential plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Bola Ahmed Tinubu to manipulate the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
Atiku alleges that the APC is attempting to intimidate the judges in order to secure favorable judgments for Tinubu.
He emphasizes the importance of an independent judiciary and calls on Nigerians to remain vigilant.
Atiku also urges security agencies to act professionally and resist being used as tools of oppression and intimidation against the judiciary.
The PDP predicts that if the court nullifies Tinubu’s victory, Nigerians will take to the streets in celebration.
The statement reads thus: “But as proceedings on the controversial February 25 election continues at the court, there have been threats from the ruling party that aim to intimidate the judiciary from serving the duty of justice.
“It is regrettable that the APC and, indeed, agents of President Bola Tinubu have ceaselessly chosen to stand in the way of justice by making catastrophic threats to anarchy if justice is not served according to their whims.
“These and reports in the media about some heinous plots to harass justices sitting on the petition are ominous to peace and the security of our nation.
“Now, they have initiated a new plot. This time around, they want to intimidate the judges into delivering favourable judgments for them at the election tribunal. We draw the attention of the international community and, indeed, Nigerians to this fresh plot to steal the mandate of over 200 million people.
“We are also urging Nigerians to abide by the golden rule of eternal vigilance being the price of liberty.
“On this note, we appeal to all security agencies in the country to remain professional in the discharge of their duties and resist being used as an instrument of oppression and intimidation against the judiciary.”
