A former All Progressive Congress (APC) deputy national publicity secretary, Timi Frank has publicly criticized the Vice President Kashim Shettima for mentioning that Atiku Abubakar will be retiring from politics after the 2023 presidential election.
According to the report, Shettima claimed that after the presidential petition court rule which declared Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the February 2023 presidential election, he (Shettima) will retire Atiku and teach him how to raise broilers and goats.
As a reply, Frank said only God can remove Atiku from politics and that what happened at the presidential election petition tribunal was a judicial coup against Nigerians.
He also said despite Shettima’s comment, many people know that Atiku and the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, remain the heroes of democracy in Nigeria, and Nigerians will never forget their struggle for a free, fair and transparent democratic system in the country.
He said, “Shettima should know that one with God, as they say, is majority.
“Atiku has the majority, and this is why Nigerians did not jubilate nor celebrate the pyrrhic affirmation through judicial coup orchestrated by the PEPC affirming Tinubu as the winner of the Presidential election.
“What happened in Nigeria on Wednesday was a judicial coup against the Nigerian state. It wasn’t justice. It was an ambush against the people.
“Shettima and his gang may celebrate a stolen mandate against the will and wishes of the majority of Nigerians now, but a time will come when they will feel the impact of what transpired when the judiciary brazenly decided to jettison substance, facts and evidence adduced before them and ruled against Nigerians for their personal gain”
