APC group stages protest in Abuja, warning Obi and Atiku supporters, who were candidates in the most recent presidential election, not to intimidate the court system in challenging the election results.

The group also directed a message to the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, suggesting that if his party is not tired of him, he should retire or reset and re-contest again in the future. They criticised Atiku’s inconsistency in political parties and emphasised that the Supreme Court, Appeal Court, and Tribunal are not about him, but about the rule of law.
Below is their speech and demands.
“The Obidients should understand that Asiwaju is a political juggernaut and election strategist. They were all part of the plan because the candidature of Peter Obi was an asset to the APC,” he said.
“The Obidients made Tinubu’s victory easy, they all made it possible. Ordinarily, it should have been Obi or Tinubu. Tinubu was not in the best position to steal the election but he planned well and worked vigorously for victory.
“We also have a message for the PDP candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Your Excellency, it is your time to test the court and not to intimidate the court. It is your time to retreat and retire or reset and re-contest again if your party is not tired of you.
“Your inability to be consistent in a party like Bola Ahmed Tinubu shows it is all about you alone. No sir, the Supreme court is not about you, the Appeal court is not about you, and even the Tribunal is not about you, it is about rule of law.
“So, today we are putting the nation on notice that no one will be allowed to intimidate the Nigerian judiciary any longer, we will not entertain it. These judges and the judiciary are the most crucial party of the hope that democracy holds.
