A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebun Adegboruwa, has warned Nigerians against electing former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, as the president of Nigeria in 2023.

He made this known in a statement made available to The PUNCH on Wednesday.

The lawyer accused Atiku of being desperate, saying that “PDP cannot be trusted with Nigeria’s constitution”.

He also accused the PDP of flouting its rotation principle with Atiku’s emergence.

The PUNCH had reported that on May 27, Abubakar won the PDP presidential ticket for 2023 general elections, after polling 371 out of the 767 accredited votes to defeat his closest rival, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers who polled 237 votes.

Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, came a distant third with 70 votes. While former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, scored 14 votes, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi got 20 votes, while Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom scored 38 votes.

Dele Momodu and Ayo Fayose, Charles Ugwu, and Chikwendu Kalu scored zero votes each, while Tarella Diana and Sam Ohuabunwa each received one vote each.

While highlighting the “dangers of Atiku’s presidency”, Adegboruwa said, “Undue and unbridled desperation for power lead to ineffectiveness. This has been the case with Buhari and so it shall be with Atiku, who has lusted for power beyond human understanding.
