Atiku Abubakar
He recently had his say via a statement through his media aide, Paul Ibe, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, if the disclosed records prove the President ineligible to hold office, Tinubu should immediately step aside for the sake of Nigeria’s global image.
He added that anyone occupying the Presidency must not be of tainted character, so the government must guarantee full disclosure.
His words, “Anyone occupying the Presidency must not be of tainted character.
What it means is that the efforts of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will not be in vain, and what will be uncovered is His Excellency’s attempt to ascertain exactly what transpired – the circumstances surrounding the forfeiture of thousands of dollars allegedly linked to drug trafficking—and the issue concerning the Chicago State University certificate.
The reason is clear, the matter of the presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, whoever occupies that position must not be someone of tainted character.
The government must ensure full disclosure. It is important, Nigerians need to know the background, academic records, age, state of origin, and the schools the leader attended.
The fact that this issue concerns the government and the occupant of the office makes it even more significant. This is not just about Nigeria.
This is the foremost Black nation in the world—the most populous. And so, we mean something to people around the world, especially the global Black community.
It’s actually about time. And it’s a welcome development so we can clear the air about the issues that have been raised. Well, it’s not even just about future elections.
If it’s established that the President, based on the revealed records, is not qualified, then the honourable thing for him to do would be to step aside.
That would be the natural course of action. He shouldn’t continue to drag the country into shame.
We are a nation governed by laws. Our young people are watching closely. They are observing how we respond in moments like this.”
WOW.
