Disagreement Breaks Out Between Peter Obi’s Camp And Atiku After Former Vice President’s Press Conference

Yunusa Tanko, the spokesperson for the LP Campaign Council, conveyed this position in an interview with PUNCH. However, Tanko concurred with Atiku’s view that the Supreme Court’s decision affirming Bola Tinubu’s February presidential election victory was regrettable.

During a press conference in Abuja on Monday, Atiku explained that the Supreme Court’s judgment on October 26, 2023, appeared to endorse forgery, perjury, identity theft, and illegality.

In his reaction, the LP Campaign spokesman said, “I do not share this idea of a single six-year term in office. I am saying this because we could have a situation where a leader who crookedly subverted the will of the people could manipulate itself into power using court cases. What if we end up having a tyrant who wants to rule us for six years and we cannot do anything about it simply because the Constitution and other apparatus have made him what he is? But with four years, there is an opportunity to challenge that particular leader, except he is willing to right his wrong.

“The fact is that the right thing must be done always. No matter how long you try to hide the truth, it will come out one day. People do not believe in this system anymore. That notwithstanding, Atiku has also made a valid point with his recommendation for an electoral reform. The judiciary, police and INEC must also be reformed. These are basic institutions that have already been captured by this particular government.

“You can see what is happening in the Supreme Court where they are already indicting themselves. We are talking about a reputable justice of the apex court, Muhammad Dattijo, making allegations against his institution. That shows we still have judges with a conscience. Above all, we need to look for a way to make INEC truly independent.”
