Buhari Campaign Organisation reports Atiku to EU, AU over ‘undemocratic tendencies’

The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) has written to the international community to caution the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.


Specifically, the presidential campaign group petitioned the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU).

The group urged them to prevail upon Atiku to jettison his plan of going to court to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election.


In separate letters addressed to the heads of EU and AU Observation Missions in Nigeria, BCO noted that the international bodies must act fast to save the country’s democracy from what it described as Atiku’s inequitable conduct despite the reports of fairness in the just concluded polls by international observers.

In the letters made available to journalists in Abuja on Sunday by its Director of Communications and Strategic Planning, Mallam Gidado Ibrahim, the BCO said Atiku ought to have congratulated President Buhari instead of yielding to PDP’s politics of bitterness.

The group pointed out that Buhari’s magnanimity in victory, which was demonstrated in his appeal to his supporters not to humiliate the opposition was enough reason for Atiku to repent of his obstinacy and congratulate the president on his reelection.


BCO said: “We are writing to inform you of the undemocratic tendencies of the presidential candidate of the main opposition party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, who has chosen to take the electoral process in Nigeria backward after a peaceful and credible presidential and National Assembly elections conducted penultimate Saturday.

“In spite of reports by foreign observers acknowledging the polls as free, fair and peaceful, the opposition party and its candidate have chosen to discredit the entire process and make the Observation Missions look as if they are biased in their assessment of the just concluded presidential poll.

“Apart from blatantly refusing to congratulate the winner of the said poll, President Muhammadu Buhari, the PDP and its candidate have taken the battle to court apparently to cause distractions with a view to slowing down the wheels of governance in the country.


“The PDP is still inciting the Nigerian public against the government of the day irrespective of the fact that President Buhari had been magnanimous in victory. He has pledged to run an all-inclusive government and has even urged us, his supporters, not to gloat or humiliate the opposition, an enjoinder we have adhered strictly to the letter.

“We deem it fit to draw your attention to this brazen attempt to frustrate the democratic process, hoping that you will intervene by calling the PDP and its presidential candidate to order and ensure that the tenets of democracy are adhered to in the ongoing electoral process in Nigeria.

“Atiku should follow former President Goodluck Jonathan’s example. Nobody’s life should be sacrificed for any politician’s ambition. He should abide by the agreement signed by all presidential candidates with the National Peace Committee to accept the results of the just concluded presidential poll in good faith.


“Nigeria has, in the past witnessed enough shedding of the blood of innocent Nigerians. If Atiku wants to help Nigerians, he should work with the Buhari-led government for a prosperous nation. He should not set Nigeria aflame with his inordinate ambition and insatiable thirst for power.”

Foolish post by OP, BMO and Apc

Why is APC so afraid of Atiku going to court?

Lalasticlala mynd44 do you know why?

The wicked run when no one pursues. Why is buhari's tyranical govt in DEEP FEAR about Atiku going to Court? I thought they said buhari's Intergrity won him the presidential election? We shall see.

Is it a crime for him to proove his case if he has evidences?...

Lol... If you know the election is free and fair as you claim then why worry ?

It shows that majority of Nigerians didn't want Atiku..Nobody is fighting for him

Because they know the recent presidential election was far from free and fair. With what Atiku have in his disposal as far as evidence is concern, Atiku will be declared the rightful winner.

So they too could cry to the international community I thought they called PDP stupid for relying on the international community.
Mumu hypocritical party of thieves and vipers

You beat a child and expect him not to cry? Leave Atiku to go to court after all all the previous years buhari lost elections even when he didn't have any hopes of winning, he went to court!

Let's hope the Nigerian cash and carry judiciary is able to deliver a landmark judgement. Talking about the judiciary, I have not heard anything about onnoghen again ooo wetin dey happen

This is rubbish and I can boldly say nobody sent them on this. Atiku has the right to go to court if he so wishes. It will only establish his failure and rejection.

If this was done based on him inciting the public, I won't have problem with it. But this is nonsense and APC or whoever is involved should stop it.

This is one of PDP fake news

Anybody who paid your school fees, must be regretting your reasoning. Going to court for redress or ascertain his mandate, since when did it become wrong?

Didn't Buhari go to the court when you lost out?

Both Atiku, APC, Buhari and PDP should simply jump inside the lagoon.

What can be more undemocratic than rigging a lifeless old man into power?

Pray the way buhari ruled Nigeria, ur generations life should be ruled that way....eyin werey

If they like let them report him to Satan, we are going to court.. and that's final..

Buhari should close down intels and arrest atiku for anti-party activities

By the time Nigerians are done with Atiku, he will be as poor as a church rat.

Your Oga buhari is even worst so STFU

APC wants him to go to court!

So we hereby declare this news as FAKE!!!

It is his right to go to court, APC should relax! A good man has nothing to fear only an evil doer! smh!

very Good Pythons shud get ready to do the needful to any pigs dat constitute demselves to nuisance .period

but is it there money he will spend in court ni. why not wait and see d outcome. buhari went to court each time he lost, nobody asked him not to go. so why are they afraid.

When tyranny and oppression begins to set in it usually comes in the form of fighting corruption


First it was atikus lawyers
Secondly it was his son in law
Now it was the shut down of Jos radio station

Maybe now any government worker when dey support atiku them go sack am abi

Whether Buhari like it or not
That election was a complete charade
We will go to court

They shouldn't forget to write CAF, FIFA and UEFA.

Who is supposed to be reporting who?

I wonder,even with their Man in charge of the Court.

LOL

Buhari lost elections 4 times. went to court 4 times, never conceeded defeat nor congratulated the winner.He even incited his supporters to murder over 1000 Nigerians and no one chided nor indicted him and yet the same people who kept quiet now want Atiku to concede. Why is this Buhari being held to a different standard compared to others?
