Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has lamented that in just 40 days of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, poverty has deepened in the country, with inflation skyrocketing and making Nigerians vulnerable to manipulation.
He also cautioned supporters of Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC against disrupting proceedings at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT.
His Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, yesterday, in a statement, said the warning was imperative following alleged “sponsored protest” at the European Union, EU Head office in Abuja, in the aftermath of the release of the EU Observer Mission report on the 2023 general elections.
The EU report had scored the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC low, over the conduct of the election. However, the Presidency kicked against the report.
The former vice-president, however, said it was curious that security agencies allegedly provided cover for protesters to picket the EU office in Abuja.
