Mazi Paul Ibe, the spokesman of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the position of the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that his principal and his party should apologise to Nigerians for dragging President Muhammadu Buhari to the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
Ibe said on his Twitter handle that the demand showed Mohammed must be high on weed.
He tweeted: “Lai: Atiku should apologize to Nigerians.
“Me: For real? What type of weed are you smoking? It can only be #CertifiedWeed.”
Alhaji Mohammed had said after the ruling of the PEPT that Buhari was validly elected president in the February 23, 2019 election that Abubakar and the PDP should apologise to Nigerians for “willfully distracting” the Buhari administration with the petition.
The Minister 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 added: “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.
“This is more so that the judgement validating the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari was unanimous that the petition lacked merit, that the petitioners failed to prove any of the grounds upon which their case was anchored and that President Buhari is eminently qualified to contest the poll.
“It is intriguing that a party that trumpets the rule of law at every turn will present, in open court, evidence it claimed to have obtained by hacking into a supposed INEC server.”
