Buhari now jittery after US, UK warning —Atiku

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
Atiku Abubakar, says President Muhammadu Buhari and the cabal
running his government have become jittery following the statements
of condemnation issued by the United States, the United Kingdom and
the European Union over the suspension of the Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public
Communications, Phrank Shuaibu, the former Vice-President urged
Buhari to ensure that next month’s elections are free and fair or
face the consequences.

He said, “Buhari’s cabal is unhappy with the statements from the
US, the British and the EU because they know that these world
powers have agreed to re-route their latest and most
technologically sophisticated spy satellites, including the NAOL-47
satellite, to provide comprehensive coverage over Nigeria on
February 16.

“The photographs these satellites will deliver cannot only show
someone reading a newspaper but also which newspaper they are
reading.”

Recall that the Federal Government had, in a statement through
Garba Shehu, stated that, “The nation’s security forces will
confront any attempt to interfere with the process by elements from
outside the country.”

The PDP candidate, however, expressed concerns over the
“desperation of the APC to rig the forthcoming elections;” and
advised the Independent National Electoral Commission, the military
and the Police not to allow themselves to be used by “those
interested in turning Nigeria’s democracy on its head.”
