Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded presidential election, has condemned the “criminal silence” of security agencies over intimidation of voters in Saturday’s governorship and house of assembly election.
Mr Abubakar, who lost the presidential election to Bola Tinubu of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly slammed the security agencies for keeping mute over threats to voters in Lagos and Abuja.
“I have watched with profound disdain a certain video in circulation where some persons known to be associates of the leaders of the ruling party in Lagos State are issuing threats against other ethnic groups in the build-up to the Governorship and State House of Assembly election in the state tomorrow.
“I condemn this uncivilised behaviour and also condemn the criminal silence of the security agencies and the political leadership in Lagos State and Abuja on this development,” he said in a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle @atiku on Friday evening.
