Only God knows when Atiku Abubakar will retire from politics, Timi Frank to Shettima

The ex-Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Timi Frank has reacted the Vice President Kashim Shettima’s boastful statement that he would retire Atiku Abubakar to Fombina to rear goats and broilers.

He said no man can retire Atiku Abubakar who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the February 25 from politics except God.

Frank alleged in a statement he issued on Friday that the President Election Petition Tribunal Verdict which Shettima was gloating over had been predetermined and compromised, a development he claimed, led to graveyard silence by Nigerians, even when APC was declared winner.

He said there were preponderance of hard facts and evidence adduced before them which show that Tinubu never won the last Presidential election.

He described Shettima’s statement after the Tribunal Verdict as unstatemanly, adding that Atiku and Peter Obi remain the heroes of democracy in Nigeria.

Frank stressed that Atiku and Obi have fought for free, fair and transparent democratic system, notwithstanding whether they got justice at the Tribunal or not.

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.”

He likened Wednesday’s judgement to a ‘coup’ against Nigerians which doesn’t deserve celebration, adding that, “Shettima and his gang may celebrate a stolen mandate against the will and wishes of 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.”
