We Do Not Seek To Stop Alhaji Atiku Abubakar From Going To Court— Keyamo, SAN

Buhari Campaign Organisation debunk rumors going round that
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, not to proceed to court to challenge the
result of the 2019 Presidential Election. In a statement made
available to TheNigerialalwyer by Festus Keyamo, SAN, FCIArb (UK)
Director of Strategic Communications, APC Presidential Campaign
Council, Spokesperson today, Tuesday, March 5, 2019 reads

“Our attention has been drawn to some news item and posts on
social media reporting that we wrote a letter to some international
bodies to prevail on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar not to proceed to court
to challenge the result of the 2019 Presidential Election.

Our investigation reveals that a letter to that effect was
purportedly written by a certain ‘Buhari Campaign Organisation’.
This is the second time we will be informing the public that the
said ‘Buhari Campaign Organisation’ does not act at the behest of
the APC Presidential Campaign Council nor does it represent the
Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation in any way. As a result,
whatever it has released DOES NOT REPRESENT THE POSITION OF
THE APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL OR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU
BUHARI.

Our official position is that we believe that Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar has a constitutional right to seek redress in court and we
do not seek in any way to curtail that right. In fact, it is the
resort to court that is the only democratic way to ventilate his
perceived grievance and any attempt to restrict or discourage the
exercise of such right would be an invitation to anarchy.

In addition, we are very anxious to meet Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
in court in order to show the world in a conclusive manner the free
and fair nature of the comprehensive defeat of Atiku at the polls.
An election is not termed ‘rigged’ only by the mere claim of it by
the loser. That is what Atiku and the PDP want to ram down our
throats. Unfortunately for them, international, continental and
sub-regional observers (who can be seen as neutral by all
standards) ALL declared the election to be free, fair and credible.
No ego-massaging narrative can change that.

We therefore totally disassociate ourselves from the letter
purportedly written by one of, perhaps, many support groups of
President Muhammadu Buhari. They may have a right to their opinion,
but it does not represent our official position.
