Former Deputy National Publicity of the All Progressives Congress, Yekini Nabena, pointedly told the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last election, Waziri Atiku Abubakar that he’s fighting a lost battle that will lead to nowhere.
Nabena said Mr Abubakar’s fishing expedition over the CSU certificate was a pre-election matter that would have no effect on the decision of the supreme court.
The APC chieftain however advised Atiku, to start preparations in earnest for the 2027 presidential election and stopped distracting the government.
Nabena also called the attention of justices of the Supreme Court to the alleged contempt of court by the ex-vice president on the matter already before the court of law.
He said, “Let me use this medium to tell the former vice president to start preparing for another election in 2027 as usual. Heating up the polity over pre-election matters will not make him President of Nigeria. The registrar of Chicago State University, Caleb Westberg, never said President Tinubu forged the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission in Nigeria.
“Atiku Abubakar should know by now that Nigerians have moved on. The country is now enjoying good governance because this administration is responsive and responsible. See what is happening across Ministries, Departments and Agencies. Nigerians will no longer wait for months to get their passports when they apply. Over 204,000 backlog (of passports) have been cleared within three weeks.
“Think about the welfare packages for the elderly by the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry. The bold step to remove the fuel subsidy that has held the country hostage for a long time has seen government intervention in all sectors, including aviation, health, transport, economy, agriculture and security among others. This Renewed Hope Agenda is already working and Nigerians won’t allow anyone, including Atiku or Peter Obi, to drag the nation back to the desert.”
