A veteran Nigerian Army, Col. Hassan Stan Labo (rtd) has made it known to President Tinubu, that he can’t be referred to as “His Excellency” when the process that brought him to power is not excellent, stating it clearly that those who are telling Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to withdraw their petitions from the court are indulging in blackmail.
Speaking further, Col. Labo noted that an allegation as weighty as stolen mandate is what some individuals are urging these presidential candidate to overlook, demanding to know the type of impression we are giving to our kids.
The veteran Nigerian soldier made this disclosure when he was interviewed by The Sun paper
He said: “All those calling for such are indulging in blackmail. You can’t be referred to as ‘Your Excellency’ when the process that brought you in is not excellent. Kindly note that an allegation as weighty as ‘stolen mandate’ is what some people are urging as a nation to overlook? What impression, therefore, are we giving to our kids for crying out loud?”
He went on and noted that telling Obi and Atiku to withdraw their case is the same as telling our children that it is okay whenever an election approaches, to recruit, train and arm an army of armed thugs with the intent to kill and forcefully falsify results that project you as the winner of the election.
Furthermore, he demanded to know how we will be able to move the country forward with stolen mandate, stating it clearly that we cannot build something on nothing and expect a positive result.
In addition, he made it known that all eyes are presently on the judiciary, expecting them to do their job, even though no one is asking to be favoured, noting that the judiciary needs to do the right thing and let justice, equity and fairplay be seen and served.
