The group convener, Mary Onuche, urged
Atiku to save Nigeria from anarchy and
embrace Buhari.
Onuche said: "Fortunately for Nigeria, our
democracy, though still young, has
continued to evolve in ways that reassure
us that things can only get better. One
such leap is the development in 2015 when
the then President Goodluck Jonathan
called to congratulate the then winner of
the presidential election, incumbent
President Buhari, even before the votes’
tally was completed.
"That singular act of patriotism is today
hailed as the benchmark of the level of
statesmanship befitting of candidates in
our elections. May God bless President
Goodluck Jonathan, the hero of our
modern democracy.
"This has become a modern democratic
culture in Nigeria for which former
President Jonathan will continue to
receive accolades. Had he acted contrary
at that time, perhaps democratic growth
in Nigeria might have been stunted or
even truncated.
"But thankfully he set the benchmark, a
standard that we today expect from
anyone that takes part in the presidential
election.
"We therefore call on Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar to emulate the statesmanship of
President Jonathan and quit his on-going
disruptive stance on the election."
Meanwhile, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole,
the national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), called on
the administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari to pick out and
prosecute agent of mass killings,
violence, and ballot box snatching in the
just conducted general elections.
The national chairman of the APC said
that the lawlessness in the country
cannot be stopped until those who think
they can overrule the will of Nigerians
are jailed.
