Abuja, March 6, 2023 – The APC has described the Monday’s protest by the PDP to the INEC headquarters in Abuja as a theatre of the absurdity.
The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) gave this allusion while reacting to the protest in a statement by the council’s Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga.
APC said that the opposition took their case to the wrong place, stressing that “INEC Headquarters is not a court where the prayers of Alhaji Atiku can be answered”.
“With Atiku staging a theatre of the absurd, we fail to see how a march to INEC by a scanty crowd will provide any victory window for him and his fragmented PDP.
“The only recourse open to Atiku after the electoral umpire declared Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, is the Election Petition Tribunal.
“We don’t expect a former Vice President of Nigeria, a statesman and a presidential candidate to be so jobless as to have time to disturb public peace over an electoral outcome he had already said he would challenge in court.
“We want to admonish Alhaji Atiku to respect his age and the high office of the Vice Presidency of Nigeria he once occupied.
“He should stop being teleguided by Dino Melaye, who disclosed scandalously that N400 billion was wasted on the election, which was clear at the outset that Atiku was bound to lose.
Atiku should avoid being misdirected by other court jesters in his party who continued to campaign after the election, still spewing their inanities against the President-elect.
“They are mere comic characters in a travelling theatre group,” the statement said. (GBN)
