A political leader whose mandate believed to have been\u00a0 stolen having won 21 States of the Federation as testified by INEC lawyers in their final written address before the ongoing Presidential election\u00a0 litigations should not and never be subjected to threats of any kind by any sect or group of persons.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;At this point, we commend the Nigeria Security operatives in their swift response to have ensured the suspects were all arrested and subjected to thorough investigations.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;We respect Atiku a lot simply because of his good antecedents, detribalized spirit, humility and political philosophy that when given an opportunity to govern, Nigeria economy\u00a0 would excellently be competing with those of the\u00a0 Asian Tigers and other advanced countries in Europe. Why would a national leader of his worth be made to face security breach instead of absolute protection by the federal government ?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;As an international non governmental body laced with voicing out against ills and bad governance , we therefore make it abundantly clear that Atiku Abubakar &#8216;s life is at risk and the government must work to protect and guarantee his safety till the hands of Almighty God naturally calls him home.\u00a0 Atiku Abubakar&#8217;s life must not be toiled with and he\u00a0 \u00a0must be fully secured to avoid plunging Nigeria into another round of unjustified uprisings.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group, Global Initiatives For Good Governance has said that Sunday terror attempt on the former Vice President, Atiku Abubarkar may not be unconnected to the government.
