To set the record straight and to educate us on the right use of these English words, I will like to let us know that what HE Atiku, the former Vice President and defeated candidate of the PDP in the last Presidential election, held today is a Press Conference, not a World Press Conference

What is a Press Conference?

A press conference or news conference is a media event in which notable individuals or organizations invite journalists to hear them speak and ask questions. Press conferences are often held by politicians, corporations, non-governmental organizations, as well as organizers for newsworthy events.

The Error?

There's nothing like World Press Conference. Press conference is press conference.

Even if it's attended by international media organisations, it is still a press conference, not a world press conference.

Unfortunately, the press conference held by HE Alhaji Atiku today was poorly attended by the local media , 100% dominated by local press as one can gleam from those in attendance and the media brands on the microphones in front of him. The only non-Nigerian media name is VOA which still has a local Hausa service that caters to listeners from Northern Nigeria.

It was a press conference and not world press conference.

Please stop making this mistake. I hope this helps.
Regards.

Once again, it's all over for HE Alhaji Atiku

He finally surrendered.

see freestuffss too is correcting people's English fa

Exactly. I was looking to see CNN, Al-Jazeera, BBC, e.t.c but none of those were present.

It was just our usual Channels, Arise, Punch e.t.c

Full Text From Atiku Abubakar's World Press Conference Over CSU Saga
Being text of a press conference by His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar (GCON), Waziri Adamawa, Vice President of Nigeria (1999-2007) and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (2023), at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre on the 5th of October 2023.

Protocol

Gentlemen of the Press, Fellow Citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I consider it important to address and report to you today on issues that define the future of elective government and legitimate leadership in our country.

Political leadership and active citizenship matter because they are ways through which we all work together to build a country that works for all who live in it. Our country is bigger than any of us, and its standing in the world affects the fate of all who come from or live in it. As leaders, it is our duty to advance the well-being of all our people and of the country.


For this purpose, my generation worked hard to return the soldiers to the barracks and to defend the right of the people to elect and establish for ourselves a legitimate government. Our elections are established and governed by law and founded on the constitution from which leadership and government in Nigeria alone derive their legitimacy.

The people look up to us as leaders to respect these rules and, where necessary, to defend them. This is what brings us here.

Today, we are called upon again as a people to uphold and defend the ground rules of elective government in our country. The constitution prescribes the requirements for those who seek the highest elective office in the land.

It should not take months or, indeed, decades, for the institutions concerned to be able to do their work in establishing the credibility of any certificates presented by candidates for public office.

We undertook this journey at great cost and for important reasons. The ground rules for legitimate governance in our country need to be upheld, and the reputation of our country is at stake. That affects everyone, Nigerians everywhere.

I am a democrat by conviction and a citizen of a country that I love. The issues at stake in this case require us once more to re-dedicate ourselves to both the country and our constitution.

Now, we entrust these facts to us all as citizens and as leaders of the institutions charged with interpreting our constitution. I should thank the lawyers both in Nigeria and in the United States, who have assisted us in bringing clarity and definitive answers to these issues that appear to have defied our institutions for nearly a quarter of a century. I also want to extend my gratitude to Nigerian citizens and friends of Nigeria both within and beyond the shores of our country for their patience as we have sought to find the facts and establish the truth.

I wish to pay tribute to the late human rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN, who inspired us on this path of discovery. Now, he can truly rest in peace in the assurance that what he started about 23 years ago has come to fruition. Gani’s vindication today gives credence to the saying that no matter how fast a lie runs, the truth will someday overtake it.

Former American President Thomas Jefferson once said, “If I had to choose between government without newspapers, and newspapers without government, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose the latter”. From exposing the Watergate scandal and unravelling the dubious certificates of politicians, journalists have maintained eternal vigilance by bridging the gap and stepping in when other arms of government failed.

Atiku Abubakar

If Atiku like make him call am "earth press conference", Supreme court no send you.

if you like bring the president of America come supreme court, supreme court go still do you wetin dey dia mind.

CSU documents versus what Atiku brought to supreme Court

Atiku lies too much!

Now I know why Bill Clinton called Atiku a man full of lies.

Atiku na lamba man.

He used his local conference to kickstart is 2027 presidential ambition.

Atiku is a loser. His press conference is a sham.

Jagaban will meet him in 2027 and still defeat him so we can retire him finally.

Who can tell me the correlation between these two in the picture below?

On a more serious note where is Prof Wole Soyinka

Atiku is really pained lol.

He should have moved on honorably, but a dirty man like Atiku fighting his friend all because of politics may be an action he may end up regretting in the long run.

God allowed Amuda Ogunlere aka (Bob Chicago, Bola Tinubu) to reach a good height so that he can scatter when he fall.

Oh E don reach to explain press conference

Aaa I don't know e go reach like this 😁

Now that we have been graced with this correction, it has now become official that:
₦1 = 1$
1L of fuel = ₦20
Tinubu > All of Nigeria's presidents combined
Agbadorians = 2000+ IQ

Money miss road

I heard proff Soyinka helped tinubu in his certificate manipulation,

If tinubu could hire fake bishops what else can't he do

Who cares? His message has been passed to those who care to listen

So this can make front page, now I know this nairaland is tribalistic.
Before you start quoting me, am not igbo, I am from the north and don’t care about LP, PDP and APC
