A former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has said that it is dangerous for any individual or
group within the APC to constitute themselves into an opposition even before
the constitution of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government. He also expressed
his loyalty to President Buhari.
The former Vice President made the call against the backdrop of
development in the polity, which he noted were interplay of forces and dynamic
interests that should not be promoted to the point of being a threat to
democracy and the new administration.
In
a press statement released by his media office in Abuja on Sunday, and signed
by Mazi Paul Ibe, the Turaki Adamawa acknowledged that it was legitimate and
desirable for individuals or groups to pursue their interests.
He,
however, noted that such should be done with the spirit of equity, fair play
and justice.
“Anything
to the contrary may jeopardize our hard-earned democracy and constitute a clog
in the wheel of the new administration,” Atiku said.
He noted that because of the historic nature of the mandate of
President Buhari and the arduous challenges ahead to deliver on making Nigeria
work for all Nigerians, it was important, especially for members of the APC, to
rally behind him in the quest to enthrone good governance.
This,
he said, would spur security and stability, economic and social development,
job creation, infrastructure renewal and above all a better life for Nigerians.
The
former Vice President urged members of the APC to emulate the unity of all the
presidential contestants after the party’s Lagos primaries and support the
President to form his government and get to work.
Abubakar
exonerated himself from the purported hijack of the party and the National
Assembly towards 2019 as a figment of the imagination of those promoting such
insinuation.
He
asked Nigerians to ignore all such insinuation.
Has laoreet percipitur ad. Vide interesset in mei, no his legimus verterem. Et nostrum imperdiet appellantur usu, mnesarchum referrentur id vim.
