Abdulsalami Abubakar, chairman of
the National Peace Committee, says his group has presented the grievances of
Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Abubakar, who met with Atiku and
some opposition leaders on Thursday, disclosed this to state house
correspondents after he and some members of the committee met with Buhari at
the presidential villa in Abuja.
Atiku, who had disagreed with the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that Buhari won the election
and subsequently vowed to seek redress in court, reportedly listed his
grievances with the APC government before the committee.
He was said to have demanded:
unfreezing of bank accounts belonging to opposition politicians;
demilitarisation of subsequent elections; accreditation of voters before voting
in subsequent elections; access to the backend server of INEC by all parties
who partook in the election.
The meeting started at the
president’s office around 3pm and ended at 4pm. Matthew Kukah, bishop of Sokoto
diocese and John Onaiyekan, bishop of the Catholic archdiocese of Abuja, were
in attendance.
Also at the meeting were Adams
Oshiomhole, national chairman of the APC, and some stakeholders of the ruling
party.
