According to Comrade Timi Frank, a former deputy national publicity secretary for the All Progressives Congress (APC), only God can push the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, out of politics.
He was responding to remarks made by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who boasted that he would “retire Atiku and teach him how to rear goats and broilers” after the Presidential Election Petition Court upheld petitions that contested Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s declaration as the victor of the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
Despite Shettima’s remark, he claimed that some of them are aware that Atiku and Peter Obi continue to be heroes of Nigerian democracy, and that the nation’s citizens will never forget their struggle for a free, fair, and transparent democratic system.
“Shettima should know that one with God, as they say, is majority.
“Atiku has the majority and this is why Nigerians did not jubilate nor celebrate the pyrrhic affirmation through judicial coup orchestrated by the PEPC affirming Tinubu as the winner of the Presidential election.
“What happened in Nigeria on Wednesday was a judicial coup against the Nigerian state. It wasn’t justice. It was an ambush against the people.
“Shettima and his gang may celebrate a stolen mandate against the will and wishes of the majority of Nigerians now, but a time will come when they will feel the impact of what transpired when the judiciary brazenly decided to jettison substance, facts and evidence adduced before them and ruled against Nigerians for their personal gain,” he said.
Frank called on Shettima to apologise to Atiku and Nigerians over his statement.
