The Chairman of the National Peace Committee, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, says the group has presented the grievances and observations of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in Saturday’s election, Atiku Abubakar, to the President.

Gen. Abubakar told journalists after the committee met with President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday that the meeting was basically to convey the fears of the PDP to the President, affirming that Mr. Atiku did not give conditions as being speculated.

“Mr. President has listened to us and also taken note of what we have told him.

On behalf of this country and all of us regardless, we need peace. This country is very important to all of us.

We are not talking of self-interest; we are talking of the interest of Nigeria,” said Gen Abubakar.

He described the PDP presidential candidate’s decision to approach the courts as the right thing to do.

"I keep saying, whenever there is violence, we are not going to see violence in Ikoyi, in the Villa and you will not find violence in the various government houses in this country.


“It is always the poor men that get to kill themselves and so on. So, please, yes, as much as we have grievances, l am glad that the PDP said they are going to court to challenge the process. l think this is the right way to go about it, and l hope and pray that we will maintain this.”

The meeting comes a day after the Committee met with the PDP Presidential candidate, in the company of other leaders of the party including the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, among others.

The National Peace Committee has been in the forefront of the campaign for peaceful elections in the country.

In the run up to the Presidential and National Assembly polls, the Committee got the presidential candidates to sign a Peace Accord, pledging to maintain the atmosphere peace and urge their supporters to abstain from violence.

Peace without justice is the peace of the graveyard - African proverbs

Baba don see better evidence
But that man with 32 children no go allow them succeed

I would advice that he withdraw this case. The judiciary is controlled by the ruling party whether we like or not. PMB went to court during Pdp's era and nothing came out of it Atiku wouldn't be different.Please whoever is reading this or related to Atiku should advice him to give up.

don't worry, he will succumb when hit supreme Court

if you like go to court...you are not destined to be president

Nigeria is where Professors rig elections , but expel students for examination malpractice.

Everyone is happy.

Court that Buhari has hijacked?

Chop chop politicians!
You ard happy PDP is going to court, yet you went ahead to present their grievances to the President.
What do you want to achieve by that?
Same way, stupid Ohaneze congratulated Buhari after endorsing Atiku twice ab initio. What do they want to achieve bu telling Buhari to make an Igbo man SP? There are ways you dont insult Nigeria or our president abeg

GOFRONT:
Nigeria is where Professors rig elections , but expel students for examination malpractice.

If you see that kind Prof just look am for eye very well then you pass. Him go know say thunder go fire am one day

I know Atiku won't win. But I'll be happy he points out those Irregularities to INEC and let them see the extent of rigging. Though He may not win but atleast half of our population are not Illiterates....

Atiku Abubakar did not give any condition as speculated. So where did nairaland get that fake news?
APC has already hijacked nairaland. This is now an avenue for all-things fake.

You're one of the problems of this country. If atrocities are committed and something is not done about it, the perpetrators become emboldened.

Buhari called the noble and highly revered Supreme Court justices corrupt, let us see if they are actually corrupt as Buhari has said if they turn a blind eye to that blatantly and obviously rigged elections

It is the truth. Nothing will come from that court case mark my words. The judiciary indeed is corrupt.

The illegal declaration of Buhari by INEC must be reversed by the court

Okay oh

Good. He knows PDP will win at the court and form the next government. The election was massively rigged by APC. We are coming with evidence in court

We all know hw it will end though


I build websites, and I'm based in Abuja

See my signature / profile

You see now

Atiku and Obi are sore losers.

Ok
