As figures from respective states were reeled out on live television and as it became apparent that the incumbent was cruising to Victory by rigging or winning, depending on which side of the political divide you decide to pinch your tent, some persons from the presidency began to persuade the man opposition challenger, Atiku Abubakar, to tow the line of former president Goodluck Jonathan and put that "call" across to Buhari to concede defeat. Some over zealous foot Men of the president even offered to give BUHARI'S phone number to Atiku in case he, Atiku doesn't have it.

While the world continues to eulogize Jonathan for that pace setter call which reiterated his earlier proclamation that "his political ambition does not worth the blood of any Nigerian", it is pertinent to say that, that call is about to set a bad precedent in our political journey. How?

The body language and persistent comments from the presidency and the ruling party have been deduced to paint Atiku black for his firm refusal to put that call across because he believes that his mandate have been stolen through massive rigging of the elections with the aid of State institutions, money and power in high places. Let me unequivocally state here that it is solely Atiku's prerogative to Call Buhari and concede defeat and nobody should bulldoze him to do that if he chooses not to tow the line of Jonathan.

It will be a disaster if we let Jonathan's call have effect on all elections in the country. It will not only make those in power to rig elections with impunity, since the loser will be painted devil if he refuses to make that call, it will also make Might to become right.

How many times did Buhari concede defeat for the three times he contested and fail? Would Amaechi have become governor if he had conceded defeat even when he was illegally denied of his mandate? Wasn't oshiomole made governor through the pronouncement of the court when he sought redress? Why are these men forming messengers of peace when their past still live in our present? Be the judge!

Since Atiku and his Party have chosen to follow due process of law in a court of competent jurisdiction to reclaim their alleged stolen mandate rather than calling for the baboons and the monkeys to be soaked in blood, the onus is largely on them to convince the jury and nobody should deny them of their right.

I read Online, though unverified, that the president sent some emissaries to dissuade Atiku from seeking legal redress, they should rather be bold enough to meet him in court instead of coercing him to bow to the Jonathan's effect.

call or not...que Sera sera

I have always believed that going to court is one's right, and asking Atiku not to go to court to reclaim his stolen mandate is an indication of fear on the part of APC. Buhari went to court to seek redress each time he lost to OBJ, Yaradua and Jonathan, and no one said he had no right to do it then [he even became customer 'da da']. Perhaps, it has been written that Atiku is destined to rule this country--asking him not to contest the results in court might kill his ability to realize his destiny.

Atiku might as well go to the court and stay there.

A mad man does not know he is mad!

Atiku is only threading the path of madness and his friends are only calling him to order.

There's no victory for him in court or outside. If he keeps shouting rigging, his own party was guilty of the act. We saw evidences from Akwa Ibom, Crossriver and the rest.

That aside, Atiku needs to calm the fùck down and wait for his time. This is the attitude of a mad man trying to jump out of his own body.
If he is awarded the votes he claims were his, will it cover for the 4million vote gap?

That brings the question if Atiku needs the figures for his own diary records or he plans to sell it as another business investment.

it is solely Atiku's prerogative to Call Buhari and concede defeat and nobody should bulldoze him to do that if he chooses not to tow the line of Jonathan.

I think GEJ was too fast in calling Buhari and congratulating him. The 3 elections Buhari lost, not once did he call the winner. Instead he'd remain mute while his horde of killers run amok killing corpers in their regions.

GEJ did the best thing...you cannot because PMB didn't congratulate others and follow him...always follow your mind
