Phrank Shaibu, an aide to former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar, says “supporters” of President Bola Tinubu should not disrupt the
proceedings at the election petitions tribunal.
Shaibu spoke in reaction to a demonstration by the Coalition
of Civil Society Organisations and Political Parties for Good Governance
(CCSOPPGG) at the Abuja office of the European Union (EU) on Thursday.
The group rejected a report by the EU monitoring team on the
just concluded elections in the country.
The monitoring team had faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the operational challenges and glitches experienced with the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) and the result viewing portal (IReV).
The EU’s monitoring team said the discrepancies in the
elections severely damaged public confidence in the electoral body.
In a statement on Sunday, Shaibu said it is necessary to
issue the warning because they “have shown a clear disdain for the truth by
picketing the EU office”.
“We find it curious that the same security agencies which
have been issuing statements barring protests were curiously available to
provide cover for sponsored pro-government protesters to picket the EU office,”
he said.
“We sound a note of
warning to the security agencies to be on the alert as the tribunal proceedings
wind down. The world is watching.”
