Resist Tinubu's Pressure To Derail Democracy, Atiku's Camp To INEC

The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to resist the pressure by the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Organization to detail democry by shifting the 2023 general election.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Spokesman of the PDP Campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, today.

“Our campaign again alerts that the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Organization is desperate for a postponement of the 2023 elections as part of its design to cause panic, create an atmosphere of political uncertainty, destabilize the electoral process and foist an undemocratic situation on our country, having come to a conclusion that its Presidential Candidate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been rejected by Nigerians ahead of the February 25, 2023, Presidential election.

“The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization has been made aware of how agents of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign, led by a governor of an APC-controlled North West State, were firmly resisted by INEC and other well-meaning prominent personalities in the country in a recent meeting where the Tinubu agents had gone to canvass for the postponement of the 2023 polls.

“Apparently frustrated, the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign has reportedly increased its pressure on INEC while scaling up its notorious resort to public incitements, incendiary comments wild allegations on the policy with the view to further orchestrate violence and heighten tension to justify its demands for election postponement.

"This accounts for recent reckless allegations by unscrupulous officials of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign, which has also lined up a series of false alarms, lies and distortions, with the objective of instilling confusion and insecurity in the polity.

“It is clear that Tinubu, having been demystified and having come to the end of his political games in the face of the dazzling popularity of the Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, is now desperate for a face-saving measure, for which his campaign is ready to derail our democratic process.”
