Spokesperson of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Management Committee, Senator Dino Melaye has said that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, fought and upheld the sanctity of the Nigerian constitution during his time as vice president. <\/p>\n

He noted that Atiku did not fight the former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, he only stood by the Constitution and democracy.<\/p>\n

Melaye<\/a> made the claim in a statement on Sunday where reacted to comments made against Atiku by the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu alleging that Atiku \u2018fought\u2019 Obasanjo, while in office.<\/p>\n

The statement read: \u201cIn a fit of temporary coherence, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, as usual, departed from issues and devoted his limited attention to His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, who must be giving him nightmares on the 2023 Presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the APC presidential candidate, Atiku \u2018fought\u2019 Obasanjo, while in office. We owe it a deep gratitude that Tinubu has recalled this fine attribute of Atiku Abubakar, who while he served as the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria defended the constitution and deepened Nigeria\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not a surprise that Tinubu would castigate a man who defended the rule of law. A man who is running from the law on many fronts can not see merit in defending the rule of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is to Atiku\u2019s eternal credit that he stood firm in pursuit of his conviction that the loyalty of public officers is to the constitution and not to individuals. This position will definitely be at variance with the disposition of a man of tyrannical antecedents like Tinubu, who in an exhibition of undemocratic tendencies fought his female Deputy Governor, Mrs Kofo Akereke-Bucknor until she was removed from office. The treatment he gave to Mr Femi Pedro was not any better. Why then did he focus on the jot in someone\u2019s eyes while overlooking the log in his own?<\/p>\n

\u201cDay by day, it is becoming apparent who to trust with power between Atiku and Tinubu. While Atiku defended the constitution and the rule of law, Tinubu has no record of such. Rather, he remains a perpetual candidate of legal inquisitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Tinubu\u2019s insistence to continue to fumble on campaign rostrum and entertain crowds at political venues, he needs to focus on what works for Nigeria and not a continuous descent into Tom and Jerry stories about Atiku.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
