In light of Vice President Kashim Shettima’s comments, Timi Frank, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, has stated that only God can retire Atiku, not man.
Frank’s statement was made in response to Shettima’s boast that he would “retire Atiku and teach him how to raise goats and chickens” following the court’s ruling on the petitions challenging the election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election.
He said despite Shettima’s comment, some of them know that Atiku and 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 then called on Shettima to apologise to Atiku and Nigerians over his statement.
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.”
