Tell Atiku To Stop This Mess

By Abiodun Ogundana

I think it has got to a stage that the people that matter most in Nigeria to put heads together and tell the former Vice President Atiku or Sodiq Abubakar to stop destroying this country just because he wants to be President at all cost.

Since his fruitless journey to Chicago State University in the United States of America on allegation of certificate forgery against President Bola Tinubu, Atiku or Sodiq had turned himself into a wounded lion. He forgets that Nigeria is bigger than any individual and that Nigerians rightly deserve to decide who governs them. 

After the political ambitionist had employed series of rough tactics, such as hiring irate reporters who all the way falsified information in his favour, prophets of doom, and could not change the decision of Nigerians, he has now resorted to dirty game of blackmailing, insulting and embarrassing the legally established state institutions for performing their official duties as dictated by the Constitution. 

He had called the Nigerian judiciary series of unprintable names for not dancing to his illegal music. He had similarly painted the INEC in bad colour for not declaring President when he did not win the presidential election. 

Atiku had earlier used his irate reporters to give wrong impression that he won the election, and when the real winner was announced he started to call for the heads of INEC officials.

Similarly, despite wide and wild publicity on social media of sure success of his legal battle, the judiciary refused to be intimidated. Instead of him to accept his defeat as a gallant looser, and start to prepare for another battle in four years to come, he resorts to blackmail that soil the name of country. 

Take it or leave it, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has finally put to rest all things that have to do with 2023 presidential election with reference to the  Constitution of Nigeria. If there is any person still talking about illegality of any aspect, the mind of such person needs to be checked. 

From now to the next four years, President Bola Tinubu remains the official symbol of Nigeria. So, an insult to him is an insult to Nigeria and the Nigerian people.

So opposition combatants should be told that enough is definitely is enough.
