Supreme Court Verdict Proves Atiku Was Scammed By His Lawyers – BMO

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has come out to say that the Supreme Court’s quick affirming of the election of Muhammadu Buhari as President is a reflection of the beauty of democracy and the supremacy of the law.

In a recent statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju in Abuja, BMO hailed the Supreme Court for throwing away the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Atiku.

Niyi also said the judgment shows that challenging Buhari’s victory in Feb from the PDP camp only mocked the judicial process.

He added that Atiku was only scammed by his lawyers who convinced him that he had a chance for their financial gain.

His words, “Just like the majority of Nigerians, we received the news of the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Buhari’s election victory with delight.

“But what may have come as a surprise to many is the speed with which the panel dispensed with the matter.

“Indeed it is unprecedented, but it is also an confirmation that the election challenge is as frivolous as the chairman of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal Justice Mohammed Garba painted it when he dismissed the case.”

“It has also shown clearly that Atiku has all along been scammed by his lawyers who convinced him that he had a case when he had none in the first place.”

“Now that the process has come to an end at the Supreme Court, we hope that Atiku Abubakar would do what he should have done several months ago- pick up the phone and call Buhari.

We also hope that PDP and its leaders would not continue the unwholesome trend they began just after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Buhari re-elected when they launched all-out attacks on national institutions, including the judiciary.

“This would be a good opportunity for the party to show that it is not a sore loser by joining the rest of the country to accept its loss in good faith.”
