Comrade Timi Frank, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy national publicity secretary, asserted that only God can end Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s political career as the PDP’s nominee for president.
He was responding to a statement made by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who boasted that he would “retire Atiku and teach him how to rear goats and broilers” in the wake of the Presidential Election Petition Court’s decision on petitions contesting the declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the victor of the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
Notwithstanding Shettima’s remark, he claimed that some of them are aware that Peter Obi and Atiku remain Nigeria’s national heroes of democracy, and that the country’s people will never forget their fight for a free and fair election.
“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.
