Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to the cleaners.

Oshiomhole in his reaction to Atiku rejecting the result of the Saturday, February 23, 2019 presidential election and his intention to challenge the result at the election petitions tribunal, said;

“I am convinced that the election reflected the will of Nigerians despite pockets of violence recorded in some parts of the country. It is sheer arrogance for Atiku to have said Nigeria’s future was tied to his presidency.”

“Was he going to rule Nigeria against our wish? Citizens must hold their leaders accountable to their policy choices. Even, when he said if he would die, he would sell the NNPC; many people believed that he has collected deposit.”

“It borders on arrogance for Atiku to suggest that our future is tied to his presidency. Atiku is destined never to be president of Nigeria. Leadership is about character. Atiku’s desperation is so obvious, so desperate that in 2003, he challenged his own boss, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, not to do a second term.”

“I deliberately refuse to say the election was perfect because the APC was rigged, especially in the South-South in connivance with some INEC’s ad hoc staff and backed by some Resident Electoral Commissioners who are working against the APC.”

“In one of the APC’s strongholds in my local government, INEC members of staff deliberately mutilated result sheets to the point that it was unacceptable and over 5,000 votes were cancelled in the process.”

“The REC rejected a request for a fresh tabulation to accommodate results collated from the polling unit level. The manipulation aided by compromised INEC workers was responsible for the loss of the senatorial bid of Senator Godswill Akpabio. The party has compiled several petitions to INEC on the irregularities.”

“Rather than Atiku saying that rigging has come to stay, and why the numbers don’t add up in the absence of massive rigging, I just think that he needs to be reminded the essence of our collective efforts with all those that I can describe as genuine friends of Nigeria, to improve the electoral process.”
