The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in last Saturday’s general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has presented a 6-points demand to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The demands were made on Thursday night, when a former Military Head of State and Chairman of the National Peace Committee, NPC, Abdusalam Abubakar, led members of the Committee, to a meeting with Atiku and his running mate, Peter Obi, in Abuja.
Top on the demand was the unfreezing of opposition Politicians’ bank accounts.
Another demand presented to Abdusalam Abubakar, was the demilitarisarion of subsequent polls.
Other demands by Atiku were:
*That accreditation of voters should take place before voting, in subsequent elections.
*That there should be no deployment of the Military, in subsequent elections.
*That INEC should open its back end server to all participating parties.
*That there should be a release of all Politicians detained illegally, by the Federal Government.
A source at the meeting disclosed that Atiku “warned that tension is building up in the land.”
The National Peace Committee team, included Cardinal John Onaiyekan, Bishop Kukah, and Rev. Fr. Atta Barkindo.
Atiku and his team informed the group, that the election of February 23, was the worst in 20 years, since the country returned to democratic rule; and that it was marked by brazen rigging, with no consideration to the will of the people.
They listed the following as the issues they had with the Presidential polls:
*Deployment of the Military was unconstitutional, and in breach of Supreme Court judgement.
*That resultantly, a lot of malpractices between the INEC Officers, the ruling party, and the Military, took place to undermine the votes/voters of the PDP.
*That there was collaboration between INEC and the FG, to undermine the sanctity of the votes of the people.
*That this is the worst election in 20 years. No improvement from 2015.
It was learnt that Abdusalam and his team, pleaded with the PDP flag bearer, to avoid anything that could jeopardise the nation’s peaceful co-existence.
