 Politics › 2015:Atiku To Challenge Planned Award Of PDP Automatic Ticket To Jonathan by draogtech(op): 5:28pm On Jun 01, 2013 |
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar might mount a legal challenge against his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, should the party goes ahead to award automatic second term tickets to President Goodluck Jonathan and state governors. In a statement by his media office Saturday, Atiku said he remained opposed to the PDP’s policy of “consensus arrangement” and “adoption” rather than transparent elections to produce candidates for all elective offices, including the presidency. He was responding to the proposal by the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, Tony Anenih, that the party should give automatic tickets to President Jonathan and state governors in 2015. The former vice president recalled that he was repeatedly in courts to challenge this undemocratic arrangement and that the courts ruled that the policy is alien to the PDP and Nigerian constitutions.

If anybody does any illegal transaction, the E-FASS is there to monitor all transactions done among the banks,” he said.
