The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar has beckoned on his counterparts Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)’s Rabiu Kwankwaso to join his quest for “justice” in the certificate controversy involving President Bola Tinubu.
Atiku had earlier requested the release of President Tinubu’s certificate from the Chicago State University over the suspicion that the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may be fake.
After the release of the certificate by CSU to Atiku’s team, the former vice president who is challenging Tinubu’s election, beckoned on Obi, Kwankwaso, and other Nigerians to join his quest for “justice” over the matter.
His words during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday were; “Let me call on all well-meaning Nigerians, leaders of thoughts, our religious, traditional, community and political leaders and in particular, Governor Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP and the leaders of every political party in Nigeria and indeed every single person who loves this country as I do and who wishes nothing but the best for this country as I do, to join me in this campaign to enshrine probity, accountability and the basic principles of justice, morality, and uprightness in our country and in our government, “This is a task for every one of us.”
While Tinubu and his supporters have repeatedly denied the accusations, Atiku says he would continue to seek justice over the matter.
“Immediately after the elections, I was told there was a delegation of governors who claimed they were sent by the president, and I did not even allow them to get into my house – I didn’t,” Atiku added.
“I will only drop the fight when the court rules. If the court rules that I am right, fine. If the court rules that he is right, fine. So that’s the end of the fight, because, at the moment, we are the Supreme Court, and there is no other higher court than the Supreme Court.”
