The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has rallied supporters and made a compelling call to action in light of recent developments.
While challenging the election victory of President Bola Tinubu, Atiku called upon prominent figures such as Peter Obi from the Labour Party (LP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), along with fellow Nigerians, to unite in his quest for “justice” concerning the certificate saga.
This controversy had arisen due to doubts surrounding the authenticity of the certificate submitted by President Tinubu to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
While the Chicago State University had released the certificate to Atiku’s team, the former vice president who is challenging Tinubu’s election, called on Obi, Kwankwaso, and other Nigerians to join his quest for “justice” over the matter.
“This quest is not for or about Atiku Abubakar. It is a quest for the enthronement of truth, morality, and accountability in our public affairs. In line with this, therefore, I am calling on all well-meaning Nigerians, leaders of thought, our religious leaders, our traditional leaders, our community leaders, our political leaders, and in particular, Governor Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP and, the leaders of every political party in Nigeria, and, indeed, every single person who loves this country, as I do, and who wishes nothing but the best for the country, as I do, to join me in this campaign to enshrine probity, accountability and the basic principles of justice, morality and uprightness in our country and in our government,” he said during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday. “This is a task for each and every one of us.”
