A group of protesters on Monday staged a demonstration in
the federal capital territory (FCT), warning Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi,
presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the Labour
Party (LP), against intimidating the judiciary.
The group known as The Natives said both candidates should
allow the courts to address their grievances without intimidating them.
Speaking with reporters, Smart Edwards, leader of the group,
said Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), won the
election because he was better prepared.
Edwards said it is time for the PDP candidate to retire from
politics.
“The Obidients should
understand that Asiwaju is a political juggernaut and election strategist. They
were all part of the plan because the candidature of Peter Obi was an asset to
the APC,” he said.
“The Obidients made Tinubu’s victory easy, they all made it
possible. Ordinarily, it should have been Obi or Tinubu. Tinubu was not in the
best position to steal the election but he planned well and worked vigorously
for victory.
“We also have a message for the PDP candidate, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar; Your Excellency, it is your time to test the court and not to
intimidate the court. It is your time to retreat and retire or reset and
re-contest again if your party is not tired of you.
“Your inability to be
consistent in a party like Bola Ahmed Tinubu shows it is all about you alone.
No sir, the Supreme court is not about you, the Appeal court is not about you,
and even the Tribunal is not about you, it is about rule of law.
“So, today we are putting the nation on notice that no one
will be allowed to intimidate the Nigerian judiciary any longer, we will not
entertain it. These judges and the judiciary are the most crucial party of the
hope that democracy holds.
“We want to say categorically that Bola Ahmed Tinubu of APC
won the election. The Lagos state he lost should have been a taboo but the
Democrat in him publicly accepted the outcome without calling for anybody’s
head.”
