The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last general elections Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has vowed not to relent in his quest to ensure that the true academic status of President Bola Tinubu is fully established.
He said his co-contestants in the election, Peter Obi of Labour Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian People’s party should join him in the battle to unravel the truth.
Atiku stated these in Abuja on Thursday during a world press conference held by him.
NPO Reported earlier that Atiku was poised to address a large section of the local and international media over his battle to reveal that Tinubu’s academic credentials are not genuine.
While the school had released the certificate to Atiku’s team, the former vice president who is challenging Tinubu’s election, called on Obi, Kwankwaso, and other Nigerians to join his quest for “justice” over the matter.
“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,” he said during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday. “This is a task for every one of us.”
Asked when he would stop the investigation, Atiku said this will not happen until the court rules who is right between him and Tinubu.
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,” Atiku 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.”
