The assertion that Atiku would resort to any means to attain power stands in stark contrast to historical record. Atiku’s supporters, to their credit, have never resorted to violence or voter suppression in their quest for his presidential ambition. Can the same be said of his adversaries in the APC? Why did the author conveniently omit the scenes of violence and intimidation in Lagos, perpetuated by those on the other side of the political spectrum? Nothing, in truth, exemplifies desperation more than attempting to climb the ladder of power upon a pile of corpses. Yet, the author chose to remain silent on the harassment of Peter Obi’s supporters by the very APC operatives he seems to champion.
