The political scenario appears getting clearer by the day. In one of the incendiary remarks recently spewed by Atiku Abubakar, the PDP Presidential candidate alleged through his shambolic press conference that Tinubu betrayed him hence the need to fight him rough and dirty.
Apparently, the allegation of certificate forgery against PBAT is all about vendetta but not a legitimate fight worth dissipating energy by anyone in Nigeria. Tangentially, it is ridiculous to see Atiku now exhibiting both desperation and frustration in his devious quest to embarrass President Tinubu over whatever Atiku might considered the reason behind his most crooked, dirty political fight in history.
That Atiku could now be begging Rabiu Kwankwaso, Peter Obi and of course Nigerians to rally round him in his bid to humiliate President Tinubu is the mark of desperation and frustration borning out of his futile journey from Chicago State University. All Atiku sought from American Court was to unravel enough, weighty evidence to unseat the President but ended up being compelled to return to Nigeria with empty hands. It was indeed a labour loss and sheer waste of times and resources. The misadventure couldn’t have added a glory to Atiku political profile except what average Nigerians deemed to be share exhibition of ignorance and nativity.
That Chicago State University could firmly acknowledged President Tinubu as a former student of the institution, and subsequently stood as a deponent in defense of PBAT is a mark of victory for the President but a clear setback for Atiku’s quest for shenanigans.
Again, that Atiku failed to establish a case of forgery and impersonation in US, and failed outrightly to present to the world who was actually impersonated that Law and Logic would have expected him to proof beyond conviction was the height of Atiku’s smearing campaigns and useless political battle that leads no where except in the gallow of shame and disappointment.
Since Atiku had promised to file a fresh evidence against PBAT at the Supreme Court in Nigeria having lost out from his foreign, hostile expedition, I wondered what exactly he expects kwankwaso, Peter Obi and Nigerians to do in this circumstance. I am sure he couldn’t have expected Nigerians to carry placards on the streets or embarked on nationwide strike on his behalf? Atiku Abubakar simply don’t worth shedding a sweat and rolling a tank of support.
When end time becomes inevitable, misbehaviours and reckless statements become the order of the day. No wonder Atiku keeps on beating a tata drum of shame and insensitivity at every public forum. To try to drag the name of late Gani fawehimi into his frustrated game of vendetta is an obvious mark of desperation to shop for legitimacy by all means possible. The press conference recently organised by ATIKU Abubakar where he was seen to be desperately canvassing for public support wasn’t only ridiculous but clearly irrelevant and after thoughts. Nobody is interested in a further political campaigns after election.
Supreme Court’s final verdict remains the catalyst to end the 2023 presidential election. Nigerians cannot afford to loose sleep over the fresh evidences Atiku is bragging to file and present before the Supreme Court. Nigerians await how Atiku intends to convince the Apex Court with his fresh evidences, and survive the inevitable, legal pronouncement coming to humiliate him, embarrasses him and chase him out of relevant politics in Nigeria, and possibly send him on compulsory retirement from partisan politics soon.
Until then, let’s keep the fingers crossed and watch how Atiku Abubakar is finally going to be humiliated out of his desperate quest to become Nigerian President by fire by force.
