By affirming Tinubu’s victory, Supreme Court just proved crime pays — Atiku

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has taken a serious swipe on the Supreme Court following it’s questionable judgement that affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s disputed victory in the last election.

The former Vice President during a press conference on Monday, said if the highest court in the land, implies by its judgment that crime is good and should be rewarded, then Nigeria has lost and the country is doomed irrespective of who occupies the Presidential seat.

Though, the latest backlash by Atiku is coming after the Supreme Court struck out his petition against President Bola Tinubu who was caught in the act of forgery.

According to Atiku, the consequences of those decisions by the Supreme Court for the country will not end at the expiration of the Tinubu’s administration. It will rather last for decades.

He said, “If the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, implies by its judgment that crime is good and should be rewarded, then Nigeria has lost and the country is doomed irrespective of who occupies the Presidential seat. If the Supreme Court decides that the Electoral umpire, INEC, can tell the public one thing and then do something else in order to reach a corruptly predetermined outcome, then there is really no hope for the country’s democracy and electoral politics.

“Obviously, the consequences of those decisions for the country will not end at the expiration of the current government. They will last for decades. I am absolutely sure that history will vindicate me. We now know what the Supreme Court has decided.

“At critical points in my political life, I always ignored the easy but ignoble path and chosen the difficult but dignified path, the path of truth, of morality, of democracy and rule of law.”
