Presidential Candidate of the People\u2019s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has said President Muhammadu Buhari is a power monger who lacks democratic characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said military commanders do not have to obey the president in carrying out orders that are inconsistent with the law of the land.<\/p>\n

Atiku said Buhari just put on the garb of a Democrat so he could return to power, but remains a general.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the 84th emergency meeting of the PDP national executive council, Atiku said Buhari was not involved in the struggle for democracy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to direct this message to our military commanders and officers. You know that the military commanders and officers are not bound to execute orders that are manifestly unlawful,\u201d Atiku said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the law, this is the tradition in the military; so if you are a professional military officer and soldier and also a policeman, you are not bound to execute an order that is manifestly unlawful, no matter who issues that order.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
