Atiku tweeted: “Today, during a meeting with the National Executive Committee of the Inter-Party Advisory Council Nigeria (IPAC), I emphasised the importance of protecting our democracy. I expressed concern over the APC’s actions, leading Nigeria towards a one-party dictatorship. I urged IPAC, led by Yabagi Sani, to rally opposition parties to form a stronger front against this threat.”
In the same vein, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting poor elections that included discrepancies in voter numbers.
