Former Deputy National Publicity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Yekeen Nabena, has advised the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar to stop challenging the legitimacy of President Bola Tinubu.
According to the former national publicity scribe of the ruling party, Nigerians have settled for the mandate of Tinubu, adjusting to his governance and have moved on
Nabena made the declaration in a statement issued to journalists on Friday in Abuja.
His advice to the PDP presidential candidate was on the heels of a world media briefing by the former Vice-President on Thursday, where he insisted that the APC standard bearer in the last general elections submitted forged certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC).
Checks revealed that the Registrar of the Chicago State University, Mr. Caleb Westberg, last Tuesday under oath at the Chicago office of Atiku’s lawyer, Angela Liu, attested in his deposition that President Bola Tinubu graduated with honours from Chicago State University.
The APC chieftain urged the PDP Presidential candidate
“to rather start preparations for another contest in 2027 as usual rather than dragging the Nation backwards.”
Nabena said contrary to media propaganda by Atiku and opposition parties; “The registrar of Chicago State University (CSU) Caleb Westberg, never said President Tinubu forged the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria.”
He urged the public to be careful of what he called manipulative reports being put in the public space by the opposition parties to cause confusion and seek public sympathy.
The APC chieftain also claimed that the former Vice-President was contemptuous of the Supreme Court by making a pronouncement on a subsisting case before the Justices of the apex court.
He said: “Let me use this medium to tell the former Vice President to start preparing for another election in 2027 as usual. Heating the polity over pre-election matters will not make him President of Nigeria.
“Atiku Abubakar should know by now that Nigerians have moved on. The country is now enjoying good governance because this administration is responsive and responsible. See what is happening across Ministries, Departments and Agencies; Nigerians will no longer wait for months to get their international passport when they apply, over 204,000 backlog has been cleared within three weeks, think about the welfare packages for the elderly by the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry, the bold step to remove the fuel subsidy that has held the country hostage for a long time, government intervention in all sectors like Aviation, Health, Transport, Economy, Agriculture and security among others. This Renewed Hope Agenda is already working and Nigerians won’t allow anyone, including Atiku or Peter Obi to drag the Nation back to desert.”
