 Tinubu’s certificate saga: Atiku urges Obi, Kwankwaso to join him in fighting for justice

The Peoples’ Democratic Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has called on Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, to join him in fighting for justice at the Supreme Court.

Addressing a world press conference on Thursday in Abuja, Mr Abubakar called on all Nigerians to join him in his campaign to enshrine probity, accountability and the basic principles of justice in the country.

Mr Abubakar said: “Let me call on all well-meaning Nigerians, leaders of thoughts, our religious, traditional, community and political leaders and in particular, Governor Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP and the leaders of every political party in Nigeria and indeed every single person who loves this country as I do and who wishes nothing but the best for this country as I do, to join me in this campaign to enshrine probity, accountability and the basic principles of justice, morality, and uprightness in our country and in our government.”

Mr Abubakar said he would continue to seek justice over the matter.

“Immediately after the elections, I was told there was a delegation of governors who claimed they were sent by the president, and I did not even allow them to get into my house – I didn’t,” Mr Abubakar added.

“I will only drop the fight when the court rules. If the court rules that I am right, fine. If the court rules that he is right, fine. So that’s the end of the fight, because, at the moment, we are the Supreme Court, and there is no other higher court than the Supreme Court.”
