Atiku Supporters Threaten Protests Over Alleged Witch-hunt of Tribunal Judges

Supporters of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have threatened to stage protests if there is any attempt to witch-hunt judges at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that a Pro-Atiku group, Face Of Waziri-Nigeria (FOWN), said it has credible information that President Bola Tinubu has met with Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, the Director General of the State Security Service and Chairman ICPC to give them a specific instruction to go after the PEPT Judges and lawyers of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and that of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi.

FOWN Director-General, Comrade Bukky Adeniyi, said in a statement that the group is aware that this is a sequel to their recent revelation of Tinubu’s nefarious moves to muzzle the PEPT, seeing the odds are against him in the case before the tribunal.

We are quite on tab with the situation at hand and we will not rest on our oars to keep Nigerians updated,” Adeniyi said. “Tinubu’s anti-masses moves further lay credence to all we have been saying and if Justice is not served, Nigerians will be worse-off thereafter.”

FOWN claimed that whatever sins the targeted Judges might have committed in the past, Nigerians have forgiven them for the sake of what it claimed important presidential election matter.

We shall not hesitate to ground the country, if any attempt is made on the Tribunal Justices, lawyers of Alhaji Atiku Abubarka and Mr. Peter Obi,” Adeniyi said.

The group called on Nigerians to be vigilant and to resist any attempt to undermine the judiciary.

Adeniyi stated that: “The President just rose from a meeting with Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, the Director General of the State Security Service and Chairman ICPC.

They have a specific instruction to go after the Tribunal Judges and lawyers of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and that of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi .

“We are much aware that this is sequel to our recent revelation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s nefarious moves to muzzle the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), seeing clearly the odds are against him in the case before the tribunal.

“It is pertinent to state that FOWN is quite on tab with the situation at hand and we will not rest on our oars to keep Nigerians updated.

“Tinubu’s anti-masses moves further lay credence to all we have been saying and if Justice is not served, Nigerians will be worse-off thereafter.

“He and his party, APC, want to set Nigeria on fire by this new onslaught and we shall not hesitate to ground the country, if any attempt is made on the Tribunal Justices, lawyers of Alhaji Atiku Abubarka and Mr. Peter Obi.”
