Latest
news reaching us reveals:
The PDP in a statement signed by its
spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan yesterday, said the former Vice President “had
not, and will never, make or accept any condition from President Buhari
regarding the February 23, 2019 Presidential election.
The statement read: “The Buhari- led
Presidency and the All Progressives Congress, APC, know that their electoral
robbery cannot stand before any noble justices and are now attempting to use
all sorts of blackmail and shenanigans to derail the quest by Nigerians to reclaim
the stolen mandate at the tribunal. “However, let it be known to President
Buhari and the APC that Atiku Abubakar and the PDP are standing shoulder to
shoulder with Nigerians in this collective determination to take back the
stolen mandate and we are not ready for any form of negotiation with anybody on
this matter.
“Our
party and candidate remain committed to the huge sacrifices made by Nigerians
in ensuring our collective victory as delivered at the polling units across the
country. We are mindful of the pains that Nigerians are passing through since
the subversion of their will at the polls; we are sensitive to the expectations
that millions of compatriots place on our shoulders in this struggle and we
will never let Nigerians down.

Earlier
as reported by the vanguard:
Gen.Abdulsalam Abubakar led members of the NPC
committee to a meeting with Atiku and his running mate, Mr. Peter Obi in Abuja
yesterday night. The Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) in last week’s election, Alh. Atiku Abubakar who has openly expressed
displeasure and condemned the last election that took place on Saturday the 23rd
February 2019 has presented a six-point
demand to the Federal Government and President Muhammadu Buhari as reported by the vanguard earlier today.
The demands include:
-the unfreezing of opposition politicians’
bank accounts.
- The demilitarisarion of subsequent polls.
-That accreditation of voters should take place
before voting in subsequent elections.
- That there should be no deployment of the
military in subsequent elections.
- That INEC should open its back end server
to all participating parties.
-That there should be a release of all
politicians detained illegally by FG.
A source at the meeting disclosed that Atiku
“warned that tensions are building up in the land.”
The entourage made up of the NPC team
included Cardinal John Onaiyekan, Bishop Kukah and Rev. Fr Atta Barkindo.
Atiku and his team informed the group that
the election of Feb 23 was the worst in 20 years since the country
returned to democratic rule. and that it was marked by brazen rigging
with no consideration to the will of the people. They PDP listed the following
as issues they had with the Presidential polls:
-Deployment of the military was
unconstitutional and in breach of Supreme Court judgment.
-That resultantly, a lot of malpractices
between the INEC officers, the ruling party and the military took place to
undermine the votes/voters of the PDP.
-That there was collaboration between INEC
and FG to undermine the sanctity of the votes of the people.
-That this is the worst election in 20 years.
No improvement from 2015.
However we received feedback that Gen.
Abdusalam and his team pleaded with the PDP presidential candidate Atiku
Abubakar to avoid anything that could jeopardize the nation’s peaceful
co-existence.
The NPC is expected to meet President
Muhammadu Buhari a critical stakeholder
