Confederation of APC Support Groups Ask Atiku, Obi to Shelve Idea Supreme Court
…Say it’s waste of time , resources
The Confederation of All Progressives Congress Support Groups (CAPCSG) has asked Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP), former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and that of Labour Party (LP) ,Mr. Peter Obi to shelve the idea of going to Supreme court over a glaring election defeat .
According to the group , it’s is expected the both Atiku and Obi concede defeat and join hands with President Tinubu to move Nigeria forward.
Speaking at a press conference held at his Kaduna Office, the Director General of the Confederation of APC Support Groups, Engineer Kailani Muhammad the detailed judgement as openly read by the tribunal is a clear evidence that all allegations against President Tinubu were nothing but mere distractions .
“We told Nigerians then and we are repeating same now that President Tinubu won the elections overwhelming and going to court to invalidate the people’s and popular choice will continue to be an impossible.
“For us as support groups, we not surprised that the presidential election tribunal on Wednesday rejected challenges by opposition rivals to Bola Tinubu’s win in February’s election, following a pattern seen in previous election years in Africa’s most populous country.
“Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, who came second and third respectively, had asked the court to cancel the election, alleging irregularities.”
He further stated ,” Jaustices of the five-member tribunal, taking turns to read out judgements for more than 11 hours, rejected Atiku and Obi’s individual petitions point-by-point.
“Judge Haruna Tsammani said Obi’s petition was “unmeritorious” and had ‘not led any credible evidence sufficient enough” to back claims of irregularities.
” Tsammani said Atiku’s allegations of vote fraud and were “so lame” and dismissed his argument that Tinubu was not qualified to run for president.”The petitions are hereby dismissed,”said Isammani.
” However, the elections stirred little sign of a groundswell of popular opposition. and Tinubu has been accepted as Nigeria’s legitimate leader, whose operational efficiencies taking proactive steps sustaining growth driving innovations achieving various milestones whilst prioritizing
stakeholders’ interests both locally & globally.
“As patriotic Nigerians we commend outstanding leadership demonstrated at NNPCL call on him continue doing what he does best driving growth development throughout entire petroleum Industry.”
EMMANUEL OGEBE REPORT, FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!” – HON. DANLAMI KURFI.
Former lawmaker who represent Dutsanma and Kurfi Federal constituency, and former board Chairman of Rural Electrification Board, Hon. Danlami Mohammed Kurfi said his attention has been drawn to a written report circulating on different social media platforms.
According to him,the report written by Emmanuel Ogebe, Esq, who claimed to be a prominent US-based international human rights lawyer and Nigerian pro-democracy advocate with the US Nigeria Law Group in Washington, in question is nothing more than a product of the imagination of the writer , clearly designed to mischievously sow discord and confusion among the general public.
The writer said that the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal ruled against multiple claims by Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, including fraud, violations of electoral process and allegations that Tinubu failed Constitutional thresholds of qualifications to run in the first place.
The court denied the parallel suit from the Peoples’ Democratic Party [PDP] headed by former Vice President Abubakar Atiku in addition to a third opposition party, Tinubu and Vice-Presidential running mate Kashim Shettima were declared victors of a controversial and disputed presidential election on February 25.
Emmanuel alleging that Tinubu won mostly on technicalities as the court threw out evidence of forgeries of his Chicago State university certificates and witness testimony it claimed was not filed on time.
Alleging that the electronic voting systems, allegedly detected fraudulent wins for Tinubu in two states won by Peter Obi and showed 39,000 missing results affecting millions of votes, Emmanuel Ogebe said we’re irrelevant.
He said that the European Union observer team condemned the conduct of the election, concluding that it marred the public’s trust in the election process.
“The alleged Tinubu’s forfeiture in 1993 of narcotic trafficking drug money during his stay in Chicago. It ruled that the $460,000 money-laundering forfeiture in US District Court was not based upon a conviction of Tinubu, and therefore the Constitution did not disqualify him to run for office in Nigeria.
Emmanuel Ogebe also said, whether Tinubu’s party fulfilled a constitutional threshold of 25 percent of the votes in 24 states and the capital territory of Abuja to be president.
He said, “Unfortunately for the challengers, the court ruled that although Tinubu scored only 18 percent of the votes in Abuja compared to his challenger Peter Obi who scored more than 50 percent, Tinubu’s party made up for it in other states. It didn’t have to be Abuja.
He also argued that candidates should have 25 percent of votes in Abuja to remediate the lack of full voting power in the capital territory.
“The deeply disappointing court verdict on Sept. 6, 2023 is reminiscent .
“A terrible mistake have been made, A court of five deciding an election for millions of people strikes many as unjust, describing them as “wickedly false designed to create mischief among Nigerians”.
That statement circulating is false, Infact wickedly false designed to create mischief among Nigerians.”
“I, Hon. Danlami Kurfi, categorically and unequivocally state that the report are entirely baseless and without any merit whatsoever.
“I and the entire family of APC view such misinformation with great concern and urge the public and well-meaning Nigerians to exercise caution and discernment when encountering such unfounded reports.
“I hereby advise the general public to disregard the story in its entirety, as it is nothing but a deliberate attempt to spread fake news and create unnecessary tensions.
“We the APC family are waiting for the Challengers of Bola Tinubu’s Election to Appeal to Nigeria’s Supreme Court as Emmanuel Ogebe said.
Hon. Kurfi said the general public to disregard the statement, noting that it is false and Mischievous described the allegation as false and fabricated by mischief makers.
He said those behind the publication seek to create “tension and confusion in the nation’s polity”.
“The intention of the forces behind the fake and mischievous news, for reasons best known to the writer, is to create tension and confusion in the nation’s polity.”
Stressing that the entire content is fabricated, and he is trying to pass off to spread mischief.
The former lawmaker therefore urged the general public to disregard the publication .

Our loyalty is unwavering and permanent. Right from the campaigns, we went from one local government to another and are aware of the messages and promises the Governor made to citizens of Kaduna state about his programs and policies and are optimistic that you will deliver and in the first 100 days, you have given us a reason to silence political jobbers, naysayers, opponents, opportunists and enemies of Kaduna state.
In the dynamic realm of leadership, where time marches on with unyielding swiftness, His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani, assumed the mantle of leadership in Kaduna State with unwavering determination and a resolute commitment to propel the state towards boundless progress. Like a sprinter at the starting blocks of a race, Governor Uba Sani wasted no precious moments. Recognizing the inherent brevity of his tenure, he swiftly assembled his cabinet, meticulously handpicking visionary leaders to join him on a journey marked by continuity, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of transformative change.
What sets Governor Uba Sani apart is not merely his profound sense of humility, but also his unwavering confidence and sagacity in steering Kaduna State to greater heights. His purpose in government extends far beyond the allure of influence and political privilege; it is deeply rooted in a fervent desire to build upon the solid foundation laid by his predecessor, Malam Nasiru Ahmad El-Rufai, while also weaving his own distinctive tapestry of innovations that will stand as a testament to his time in office. In a landscape often marred by the unfortunate practice of new governments discarding the pearls of wisdom and progress initiated by their predecessors, Governor Uba Sani stands as a beacon of progressive continuity. He embraces the legacy of great ideas and transformative projects of the past administration while unfurling his visionary agenda for the accelerated development of Kaduna State. This exceptional commitment to harnessing the best of both worlds ensures that Kaduna’s progress remains uninterrupted, ushering in an era where the sands of time bear the indelible mark of Governor Malam Uba Sani’s exceptional leadership.
Governor Uba Sani’s first 100 days in office have been marked by an unwavering commitment to transform Kaduna State on multiple fronts, from education to healthcare, job creation to governance. Let’s delve into the significant moves, achievements, and policies that have defined this period.

His role in facilitating the opening of Shoprite Nigeria in Kaduna highlighted his dedication to creating a business-friendly environment. His encouragement to Shoprite to prioritize local product sourcing points to a commitment for the support of the state’s agricultural sector and job opportunities for local producers in the state. As a tip of the iceberg, the governor performed the groundbreaking of the Qatar Sanabil project; a mass housing project for low-income earners and an economic city for trade and investment with potentials to create thousands of jobs.

Talking about inclusion, his first Executive Order on “Financial Inclusion in Kaduna State” outlines strategies to benefit 2.1 million underserved citizens, ensuring they have access to financial services and social intervention programs.
Going by his first 100 days, Governor Uba Sani has emerged as a beacon of transformative leadership in his first 100 days in office.
