Polls: Buhari must go, death threats can’t stop us- Atiku support group

An Atiku support group Wednesday said no amount of death threat can
stop Nigerians from voting out President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday.

The group condemned the issuance of the killing order on ballot box
snatchers by President Buhari, noting that he would have signed the
Electoral Bill if he wanted to eliminate all forms of thuggery.

The group said, “If the state agents are so determined to serve an
individual president at the expense of the nation, then, they must be
ready to kill as many Nigerians as possible to keep Buhari in office.
But Nigerians are resolved to sack Buhari and no amount of death
threats can deter us”, the group said.

The group’s director general, Silas Onu said that the order given by
the president is one that has no objective mode of application or
enforcement, thereby leaving the army with a subjective discretion of
determining what to describe as an act of box snatching.

Onu regretted that the army might use the order to muscle the agents
of opposition parties into silence and cowardice for the fear of being
killed by the state agents.

“Seeing that the opposition parties have remained resolute to act in
accordance to law at all times, the president has now resorted to
terrorizing his own citizens with state violence on Election Day,” he
said.
