FG To PDP, Atiku: Governmment Of National Unity Will Never Happen by nairavsdollars(f): 6:57am On Mar 05, 2019
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The Federal Government on Monday said it would not consider a Government of National Unity being canvassed by some Nigerians following the outcome of the 2019 presidential election which was won by President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), President Buhari, who was seeking re-election, garnered 15,191,847 votes to defeat his closest rival, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, who polled 11,262,978.

Atiku has already rejected the result and vowed to challenge it in court.

However, some Nigerians, including political parties, have asked Atiku not to go to court while asking President Buhari to form a Government of National Unity.

Speaking with our correspondent on Monday, a top government official said those clamouring for a Government of National Unity should perish the thought as the constitution did not provide for that.

“Is there a provision in the constitution for Government of National Unity? The election has been conducted, INEC has declared a winner.

“The opponent who came second has refused to congratulate the winner and insisted on going to court. We wish him good luck.

“Why will anybody even think of a Government of National Unity? The election was a free, fair, and credible election and it was endorsed by both local and foreign observers.

“It was not a close contest in any way. The winner has emerged. Why will anybody moot the idea of Government of National Unity as if there is a constitutional crisis? They should perish the thought because it will never happen,” he said.

Also speaking, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, said the government would not consider the option as it was not in the constitution.

“What does the constitution say about Government of National Unity? The question does not arise,” he said.

Alhaji Atiku should go to court. I wonder why people are appealing with him not to.

If anyone feels injustice has been done, let the person seek justice

This Atiku guy is never tired of loosing. He's about to flush billions down the drain again in the name of tribunal. But I never knew PDP are this desperate to come back to power, now they want to use the back door.

They are used to stealing and living in luxury which may have dried up by now. Nigerians have rejected you, just quietly go away.

Atiku is using the election tribunal to stay relevant just for the governorship election, after that he will concede defeat and we shouldn't hear anything of him for some time.

It's all part of our democratic process for election result to challenged in court. Truth is APC rigged and PDP also rigged so the court should be the equaliser in this case.

Hahhaaah
I’m yet to see what’s giving Atiku the confidence to think that pmb will run a GNU. Even Yaradua that did it ended up converting the ministers from PPA and ANPP to PDP

This is deeply troubling for the FG to issue this kind of statement! This amounts to treason to the Nigerian people..

Well zombies, this is your NEXT LEVEL.., enjoy it!

The election is free,fair and credible. It's not possible for someone to sit in one corner of his room and tell us he has different clips of election irregularities.
Though no one is perfect but you are free to go court to show your grievances.
Good luck

An average Hausa man will not fight for what belongs to him? I really doubt that. If it is not settled in the Court, it will be settled in the mosque and if not in the mosque, then it will be in the caucus of the Fulani elders.

Any ways, the fact remains that Hausa-fulani will teach the south how to play the game of politics this time. Obasanjo played the game well when he placed Goodluck to be the vice of late President Yaradua. This time, Tinubu successfully attached the pastor vice to President Buhari in case there is any eventuality; but the president has shown how strong he is over these few months. INEC has declared Buhari President for the second term, now the north is ready to show how skillful they are in the game of politics.

Take it or leave it, either Atiku gets his mandate at the tail end of Buhari tenure or he contests again to be rigged in and the North remains in the corridor of power.
For the south whether Yoruba or IBO getting power so soon, hmm, I doubt.
Many times I just chuckle when I hear the Yorubas and Ibos using words against each other-the game is between the North and the South not between two tribes who just want the less effective position of the Vice.

What Buhari is doing right now is to place his puppets in the oil rich states of the south for the enrichment of the north hence his interest in Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Akwaibom others will include Bayelsa. Wondering why he hardly visit other states in the south?

Going to court is a waste of time. The CJN was targeted for this reason.
