The Presidency on Friday tackled former Vice President and presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, over his comments on the Supreme Court judgement affirming the election of Mr Gboyega Oyetola as governor of Osun State.

Commenting on the judgement, Atiku, in a statement, had said: “I urge the nation’s judiciary to take a pulse of the nation and reflect it.

“In their hands, God has placed a great responsibility. The duty to ensure that justice is done, irrespective of the pressure to do otherwise by the powers that be.”

But the Presidency, in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and publicity, Femi Adesina, said that it found Atiku’s reaction very ridiculous, and comical.

The statement reads: “Many things fly in the face of logic, reason, and legality in this portion of the statement.

“Alhaji Abubakar urged the judiciary to reflect the pulse of the nation in their judgments.

“Learned people know that the judiciary comes to conclusions drawing from matters of law placed before it, and not sentiments, or so-called “pulse of the nation.”

“A pertinent question is: how does the judiciary gauge the pulse of the nation? Is it even positioned to do such? Is the judiciary established for that purpose, or to dispense justice, even if the heavens fall?

“Again, there is insinuation of inducement in the statement when the PDP candidate said the judiciary should ensure justice is done, ‘irrespective of the pressure to do otherwise by the powers that be.’

“We see this as an attempt to browbeat the judiciary, thus causing it to entertain sentiment in the ongoing petition on the presidential election before the tribunal.
“If anybody has the tendency or proclivity to put pressure on the judiciary, Nigerians knows where the finger points, and it is definitely not at President Muhammadu Buhari.

“This was a man who had thrice taken his electoral challenges to the judiciary, up to the Supreme Court, and not once was he accused of trying to influence the process, or put pressure on the courts.

“When the All Progressives Congress (APC) lost Zamfara and Rivers states, arising from judicial proclamations then, there was no “pressure to do otherwise, by the powers that be.

“But now that the victory of the party in Osun was upheld, there is insinuation of pressure from those who have never learnt to play straight.”

According to him, President Buhari has always been committed to fair play, which he noted was clearly evident in the last general elections.

Buhari, he said, remains committed to even-handedness and justice always.

Osun is part one. By the time the court declare him not Nigerian enough to be president, he would say it’s pressure from God knows where.

Atiku could have just kept quiet....

/Peace loving and God fearing ] My brother are in this country or you fell from space

Ok

I have it on good authority from an Atiku campaign insider. They had two strategies. Sadly both failed...
1: outbuy and outspend Buhari since they know he’s miserly and too stingy. They intend to do everything within the books to rig through cash since they don’t have control of the police and military. 2. If plan A fails, use Israelis to hack INEC servers and gag the public with the server results. I was told Peter Obi was the guy who pulled this server hacking stuff up.
Since Buhari was a total failure and since he’s sorrounee by pathetic incompetence, if not, both Atiku and VP will be cooling off in prison right now for the greatest electoral tampering and fraud ever committed in recent times.

Everything about PDP is Sentiment..When Apc lost rivers and zamfara nobody influenced the judiciary but when they lost, it is another story.
