I Have Nothing To Do With Your Reconciliation Move, Atiku Tells Tinubu

The Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25 election, Atiku Abubakar, has made it clear that he has nothing to do with the call by the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for healing after what he described as “a violent election”
Tinubu, had in a statement he personally signed today, March 21, called on all the opposition parties and their candidates to join him in healing the wounds of the campaigns and elections that had just taken place in the country.

In a statement responding to Tinubu, Atiku, through his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, described Tinubu’s statement as an after-thought and hypocritical garbage.
He said it was curious that Tinubu was talking about reconciliation after his minions attacked Igbo voters in Lagos in order to give his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) advantage during the governorship election.
He accused President-elect of continued to protect transport hooligans, politicians and even traditional leaders in Lagos who were seen on video threatening non-indigenes.
“Tinubu’s latest statement is laced with hypocrisy and lies. For a whole month, traditional leaders, transport hooligans and politicians in his camp threatened non-indigenes but Tinubu kept mute.

“His lackey, MC Oluomo, who is a member of his Presidential campaign council, was seen on video threatening Igbo people but Tinubu said nothing. His campaign spokesmen, Bayo Onanuga and Femi Fani-Kayode, went on social media to warn Igbo people against exercising their franchise but Tinubu looked the other way.
“Traditional rulers imposed curfews and went about slaughtering goats and placing them in front of polling units but Tinubu said nothing. A traditional leader and council chairman in Gbara community, Eti Osa local government summoned non-indigenes to a meeting where they threatened non-indigenes with eviction if they failed to vote for the APC but Tinubu said nothing. Those invited by the police ignored invitations because Tinubu was shielding them.
“On the day of election, many people who looked Igbo were beaten and prevented from voting but Tinubu kept mute. Now that his party has stolen the election, he has found his voice and is preaching reconciliation. He should tell that to the marines. If Tinubu is serious, he should ensure that all those found culpable are arrested and prosecuted. But we know he cannot do this because he is their godfather.”
