Apologise to Nigerians, FG tells Atiku, PDP

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,  asked the PDP  and Atiku to apologise to Nigerians for “willfully distracting” the administration of Buhari with their petition.


Mohammed stated this in a statement on Thursday from St Petersburg, Russian Federation.
He said while the PDP and its candidate reserved the right to pursue their petition to the highest level, “they will be better served by dropping their toga of desperation and realising that there is a limit to tomfoolery.”

He said, ‘’Nigerians are tired of this orchestrated distraction, and will rather wish that the opposition, having lost at the polls and in court, will now join hands with the government to move Nigeria to the next level.”

According to him, instead of casting aspersions on the judiciary with their poorly-framed reaction to the ruling of the tribunal, the PDP and its candidate should be thanking their stars that they are not being prosecuted for coming to court with a fraudulently-obtained evidence.

But  Atiku’s media aide, Mr Paul Ibe, berated the minister for asking the PDP and its presidential candidate to apologise to Nigerians. Ibe berated Mohammed in a tweet in response to Mohammed’s statement.
