A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River, Hon. Cletus Obun, has come out to tackle the 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party for their various cases against President Tinubu, pointing out that if Atiku Abubakar is a political disaster, Peter Obi is a calamity.
Hon. Obun further stated that what Atiku and Peter Obi are doing is putting their government in a corner instead of joining hands with the government to put the country in the right direction.
According to him, “If, in the course of filling out his form for INEC from 001, he fills it out and goes to swear before a court and says I am F-female instead of M, could that have disqualified him genuinely? If a man says I’m 35 years old and the requirements for you to be a House of Assembly member, senator, or president of Nigeria is that you should be 30 years old, and he won the position in the first form (001), he says I’m 35 years old, and in the next form, he says I’m 46 years old, what is the offence in that? That is, you have to be 30 years old to run for election in Nigeria, and the man’s first form says he’s 35; the second form says he’s 40. What is the offence? This is what we mean by the spirit of the law and the letters of the law. These are the technicalities they’re seeking to impose on the Supreme Court and trying to blackmail the Supreme Court, bully the Supreme Court, abuse the Supreme Court judges, and even tell them all eyes are on the judiciary. I can tell you this: if Atiku is a political disaster, Peter Obi is a calamity.”
