Their legal teams have shown their hearts, Obi and Tinubu- Dino
Dino Melaye, the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, stated that despite losing the recently concluded election, Atiku Abubakar continues to be a unifier in all respects.
NewsReport gathered that the former lawmaker disclosed this in a post via his Twitter handle on Saturday, while speaking on the legal teams of candidates for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP), Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi, respectively.
Melaye said Peter Obi and Tinubu’s legal teams have exposed their hearts as the duo selected their legal team from their ethnic groups.
He claimed Atiku reflected his stance as a unifier in the composition of his legal representatives in the presidential election petition tribunal.
According to Melaye, Atiku’s legal team cuts across the six geopolitical zones, unlike Peter Obi and Tinubu.
He wrote: “Atiku Abubakar’s legal team is the only presidential legal team that cuts across the six geopolitical zones.” He is a unifier in all ramifications.
“Tinubu’s legal team is 80 c/o Oduduwa, and Obi’s is 100 c/o Biafra.” “This is a reflection of the hearts of the candidates.”
Meanwhile, Melaye has called for the resignation of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmud Yakubu.
Dino made the call via his Twitter handle on Saturday.
NewsReport recalls that Yakubu had threatened to file a lawsuit against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after they called on the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the INEC boss over alleged manipulation of election results.
The PDP stated that the call was made on the premise of the widely condemned infractions: “a brazen violation of the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022, and criminal manipulation and alteration of election results.”
However, Yakubu’s press secretary, Rotimi Oyekanmi, urged the PDP to prove its claims in a court of law.
He wondered why the PDP had no evidence to back its claims, maintaining that the electoral commission does not rig elections.
However, Melaye insisted that Yakubu must go, alleging that he “superintended over a criminal enterprise, Yahoo!”
