The federal government Thursday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, should desist from fomenting any crisis in the country over his failed presidential bid.
While warning that “enough is enough,” the government said any attempt by the former vice president to resort to self-help either through the Venezuela model or any other would be met with dire consequences.
The government’s position came against the backdrop of posters bearing the portrait of Abubakar with the inscription ”The Pukka, H.E.
Atiku Abubakar, the real and the right,’ which recently flooded the streets of Abuja, the nation’s capital city.
The government also spoke on the alleged hiring of U.S. lobby group by Abubakar at the cost of $30,000, to label the Muhammadu Buhari administration illegitimate until the Supreme Court rules on his(the ex-VP) petition challenge the election outcome.

Notwithstanding the rebuttal, the federal government said Abubakar must have since realised the grave implications of his actions.
Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed stated this Thursday at an interactive session with journalists in Abuja.
