Former Vice President and
Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2019
election, Atiku Abubakar, has raised alarm of plot to arrest him.
This was contained in a statement
by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, on Sunday.
It said due to Atiku’s insistence
of existence of a server used by the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), his enemies attributed a false comment on “mass protest” to him to
prepare ground from his incarceration.
Ibe said: “I wish to emphatically
state that such a statement did not emanate from Atiku Abubakar or his privies.
“It is the work of mischief
makers who want to mar his spotless pro-democratic record and lay the ground
work for their threatened actions against him on false charges of being a
threat to national security.
“For the avoidance of doubt,
Atiku Abubakar believes in the rule of law and in the laws of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. In his almost four decades in politics, he has never taken
action or spoken words against democracy and will not start now.
“Atiku Abubakar and his team have
confidence in God and thus call on those bent on mischief to have the fear of
God and retrace their steps.
“Democracy has come to stay in
Nigeria. The culture of fear being created now cannot rein in our democracy.
Nigeria and Nigerians have a consistent history of outlasting tyranny and will
continue to do so by the grace of God.”
