Atiku Replies Buhari: Nigerians Fought More Ruthless Dictators

PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday asked Nigerians not to be afraid, saying they had fought leaders, who he described as more ruthless and more dictatorial than President Buhari, in the past.

Atiku was reacting to Buhari’s order that ballot box snatchers should be shot.

He spoke at the opening of the emergency National Executive Committee meeting of the PDP in Abuja. He also cautioned soldiers and other security agents against obeying unlawful orders from President Buhari.

He said the military and other security agencies were not bound to obey unlawful orders.

Atiku said, “When you people are talking about democracy, I have always said that General Muhammadu Buhari is not a democrat. He has never been a democrat. We started the fight to drive the military away from governance, he was never there. He never participated.

“I am sure that you have followed with interest, utterances from the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, and General Muhammadu Buhari in particular which are a painful reminder of the era of dictatorship and military rule. General Buhari has consistently violated the constitution; he failed to uphold the rule of law.

“Only yesterday (Monday), General Buhari said and I quote, “The military and police should be ruthless. Anybody who disturbs the voting system will do so at his own risk,” that is General Buhari.

“It is shocking for any head of state to utter such words in a democracy and we shall not accept it from General Buhari in this country. We have fought more ruthless dictators than him.”
