The Buhari Media Organisation has accused the Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of lobbying the United States authorities to recognise him as authentic President.
BMO in a statement urged the security agencies to investigate the former Vice President Abubakar Atiku’s ‘unholy romance with foreign bodies’ saying Atiku is ‘seeking to destabilise the country in a bid to realise his failed ambition to be President’.
“We at BMO are not surprised because we had raised an alarm even before the election that PDP elements had been preparing the ground for what they called a ‘Venezuelan option’ by instigating the international community against the President Buhari-led administration, and by raising all sorts of false alarms.
“And now that news has filtered out that Atiku has hired some prominent American lawyers to lobby the US Congress and the Executive to recognise him as President, it beggars belief that a man who rose to the position of Vice President could be engaged in acts that amount to treasonable felony, especially as the legally authorised body in election matters, INEC, declared that he lost the Presidential election,” the group said.
