Yekeni Nabena, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has weighed in on the recent accusations made by Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 elections. Nabena stated that Atiku cannot take the nation backward and emphasized that the allegations against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are centered on a pre-election matter that has already been put to rest.
In a statement issued on Friday, Nabena asserted that Atiku should focus on preparations for the 2027 elections instead of attempting to drag the nation into the past. He also clarified that, contrary to the media buzz surrounding the Chicago State University certificate, the university's registrar, Caleb Westberb, did not accuse President Tinubu of forging the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria.
Nabena cautioned the public against falling for manipulative reports disseminated by opposition parties with the intent of causing confusion and seeking public sympathy. He firmly maintained that Nigeria is a sovereign state, and until the highest court of the land states otherwise, President Bola Tinubu's election remains legitimate, allowing him to continue governing the nation.
Furthermore, Nabena drew attention to what he considered contempt of court by Atiku concerning a matter already in the court of law. He urged Atiku to prepare for the next election in 2027 and suggested that the focus on pre-election issues would not lead to his presidency.
Nabena asserted that Nigeria has moved forward, experiencing good governance under the current administration, which he described as responsive and responsible. He highlighted the need for political discourse to align with the nation's progress and development rather than revisiting past issues.
