Nabena tells Atiku in CSU: “You can’t take Nigeria back to the desert

Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential contender for the 2023 elections, cannot return the country to the desert, according to Yekeni Nabena, a former APC deputy national publicity secretary.

At a news conference on Thursday, October 5, Atiku charged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with forgery.

Nabena, however, claimed in a statement released on Friday that the controversy surrounding the Chicago State University certificate is simply an election-related problem that has since been forgotten.

He emphasised that rather than set the country back, Atiku should start making plans for the next election in 2027.

Contrary to what Atiku and the opposition parties have been saying in the media, President Tinubu did not falsify the certificate he submitted to Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), according to Nabena.

He pleaded with the populace to exercise caution while reading allegations that the opposition parties had fabricated to sow discord and win support.

The party leader argued that because Nigeria is a sovereign nation, President Bola Tinubu is still duly elected and will continue to run the nation’s affairs until the highest court of the land rules otherwise.

Nabena also brought Atiku’s contempt of court against the case already in court to the notice of Nigerian justices and the Supreme Court.

“Let me use this medium to tell the former Vice President to get ready for the usual 2027 election,” he said. He will not become Nigeria’s president by inflaming the political climate over election-related issues.

Atiku Abubakar ought to be aware that Nigerians have advanced by now. Because of this administration’s responsiveness and responsibility, the nation is currently experiencing strong governance.
