Avoid heating polity, activist urges Atiku, Obi, others
An activist, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri has warned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former governors of Kaduna and Anambra States, Nasir El Rufai and Peter Obi respectively, against heating up the polity as the nation moves toward 2027 general election.
Onitiri urged Atiku, El-Rufai and Obi to moderate their actions, utterances and speeches to avoid heating up the political space which might endanger the current political dispensation.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday, Onitiri noted that the advice became expedient in view of the way and manner the politicians were going about their new found political association.
Onitiri advised Alhaji Atiku that seeking American Court’s help to disqualify President Bola Tinubu in preparation for 2027 Presidential election was going too far and seen by Nigerians as unnecessary and should be avoided.
“As one of the Democrats who risked their lives between 1993 and 1994 and faced the military to secure the present political dispensation, we cannot sit by and allow the present crop of politicians to play into the hands of the military boys who might want to threaten our fledgling democracy,” he said.
He pointed out that the current economic and security situation in the country called for cooperation and collaboration between the ruling APC and the opposition parties by joining hands and working together to find solutions to the lingering problems, for the overall interest of the poor masses of the nation.
Onitiri pointed out that from all available facts and accounts, the Federal Government had been trying it’s best to salvage the worsened inherited economic and security situations since 2023 till date.
