The All Progressives Congress (APC) strongly condemns the 2019 presidential candidate of the opposition party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar who has now made it a pastime to make public statements on issues, which constitutionally should be reserved for the duly elected head of government or his designees.

As a Party, we would have thought that Atiku who in the past occupied such high office as the country's vice president would clearly understand the workings of government, particularly as it bothers on national security, foreign policy and our international engagement.

We have noted Alh. Atiku’s incessant habits of releasing statements on public issues as if he were an alternative President of this country and with a clear intention to undermine President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC-led government.

In recent times, Atiku has demonstrated lack of regard for the sovereignty of the office of the President and Nigerian government through condescending statements.

He has made several of such statements regarding the activities of the Nigerian military, issues of national security, and international relations.

The latest of such statements is the one he made on the emergence of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister of Britain. Even when our duly elected President, who has the responsibility of making an official statement on such matter, has made the position of our country known. We note with serious concern that Atiku has been throwing himself around as a shadow President of Nigeria.

We would like to state clearly that such position could only be found under the parliamentary system; it does not exist under the Presidential system of government that we practice in Nigeria.

Atiku, like every Nigerian citizen, should understand that being a candidate for an elective office, including that of the President, does not confer on him a sovereign status.

Atiku continuous portrayal of himself as a shadow President under our system borders on felony and makes him a patent impostor.

There can only be one democratically elected and legitimate government at a time in this country. That clearly is the administration of Buhari

It is important to remind Atiku that issues of national security, foreign policy and international engagements are not matters to be exploited to achieve mischievous political ends.

We reiterate that Alh. Atiku has lost the 2019 presidential election and it would be unhelpful to him to continue to make a mockery of our country. We expect Atiku to quickly address himself to the stark reality of his loss and move on. Our laws are clear on all acts of criminalities, in this case, a clear case of felony.

Nigerians expect that the enforcement of relevant laws should apply to every Nigerian, irrespective of class and status.

This government would not be found wanting where it is required to take decisive actions.

Buhari, Atiku, APC, PDP and all their cronies are all mad together.
May their generations never know peace, Selah!

u r very angry.

Atiku, grow up and behave!

The cabals controls the affairs of the nation.. The president is only but a sleeping president..

I have said it earlier... Atiku trying very hard to lay claim to what he is not.... Election had come and gone he should allow the court to pronounced him president before forming what he is not.don't know who advises him, that adviser or person is not doing him any good at all.

so shall it be!!!! So so so many innocent blood..The greatest sin on earth is to be a Nigerian

Atiku is an arrogant fellow..he is going to be the worst ever president if he eventually be ..thank God he can't be .."He can't cum let him bleep from now till tomorrow"

Things u guys gave GEJ in full, u can't even take quarter of it

It was in this country u all ridiculed GEJ in what ever form u could, even welcoming foreign diplomats

U guys should focus on handling the national issues, atiku is not one of it

Thank is true, Atiku wise up....!!!

Very insecure press release from APC. Seems the drums of #AtikuIsComing is giving them sleepless nights.

If Buhari was behaving like a competent President he wouldn't need to bother with Atiku's activities. An unsavoury sight to witness a sitting President, though with an alleged illegitimate mandate, being rattled by Twitter and Facebook posts of a former Vice President.

Doesn’t Nigeria’s democracy and constitution guarantees freedom of speech and expression?

APC are embarrassing themselves and the Presidency. Obama, Clinton, Speaker Pelosi (Democrat), etc that release statements, are they the Republican President Trump?

another loose mumu. Gej this gej that


why not honoured Gej with life president now

APC can't swallow a bitter pill. Truth they say is

Dear nairalanders, I am bringing to your notice the disappearance of a nairalander (BBQ/Suya man. A.K.A ZOMBIE senior officer).

Hope he has not been caught while in operation? We all know he is a herdsman.

So of all the problems in Nigeria, This fraud party is more concerned about who tweets what first and makes statement.
If bushari feels it to important, he should get an iPhone and follow all the trending topics on twitter and make statements about them.

I long expected this statement from the government.Atiku should grow up, when your golden road has reach the end, find the strength to move on.

U can drop ur opinion without insulting anyone, but u have to show u are stupid ... I said what I said....

Deal with it

I see the whole story as rabble rousing. Kilàtiku Se gan? They keep saying this and that. Does he addressed himself as the president? No.

He issues the purported press release in his own name, then what is wrong with that?

APC and the present government are definitely being haunted by their evil acts against Atiku and others. And, may that spirit continue with greater force until their rememberance is completely erased. Wicked hypocrites

Atiku should be mindful of his cheerleaders before he ends up in Jail for Felony and being a Threat to National Security.

A word is enough to those who care.

Many people no know say all these guys na d same. After Buhari rule dem finish, Atiku go enter; anything to make north hold on to power as long as possible. Mumus go jubilate articulated victory, meanwhile the gameplan na to sideline south. However, dem go carry along the 'my belle pass level' slaves from d south.

Poor Atiku.

Those people cursed with political badluck have ruined his brightest chance at Presidency.

O boy see mentality. God help us with these kind kids with substandard IQ that APC is grooming in Nigeria.

Atiku, a failure personified entity who isn't different from a butterfly that thinks himself to be a bird, can never act like a bird.

He's giving his deluded self a false hope and encouragement as being deceived by the likes of Igbos, FFK, Reno, fayose, buba galadima and others cursed folks..

I wonder how the decision of Atiku to make statements on national or security issues is a worry for the Federal Government or APC.

He is a Nigerian. He doesn't have access to dosiers and security intelligence reports that the president has. He is not the president and I don't think he speaks in capacity of the President of Nigeria.

Anyway, I know that when you hear a man constantly saying to his wife and family that he is still the head of the home, that is an indication that there is a problem in the home; he has lost control of the home.

Well, you know nothing about government, rule of law, and the sovereignty of a state.
No sane government will allow anybody to keep releasing press statement on national issue.

You can't try that with Trump.

.. It seems KARMA is catching up quickly with this EVIL party... They have suddenly realized that "there's a sitting government in place "...
I remember when their leaders where granting interviews to international TV stations and promising to form a parallel government... They never knew there was a sitting government by then...
SHAME ON THESE EVIL PEOPLE AND ALL WHO SUPPORT EVIL...
