He urged Atiku to respect himself and stop following court jesters like Dino Melaye to dance ‘skelewu’ and causing traffic snarls within the nation’s capital, Abuja.

Tinubu noted that it was strange that a former vice-president of the country would be so idle that he has enough time to disturb the public peace.

The Director, Media and Publicity, at the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, APC-PCC, Bayo Onanuga stated this via a statement.

Tinubu noted that they were not surprised that Atiku after stating that he would seek redress in court over the outcome of the February 25 election, decided to go back on his word and lead a protest.

He said, “Going by his political antecedents, it was rather not surprising that Atiku, days later, led a band of protesters, nay jesters in Abuja, to the headquarters of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

“What was on display today by Alhaji Atiku and his motley crowd was a new low from the perennial election loser.

Instead of Atiku and his party to wisely spend their time gathering the so-called evidence they hope to present before the courts, they are busy dancing ‘skelewu’ on the streets and causing traffic nuisance to residents of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, who were going to work on a Monday morning.
