One of the frontline Tinubu support groups, Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), has threatened to take legal action against the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP), Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi over comments discrediting Supreme Court.
The group said the ‘grumbling’ by the due of Atiku and Obi after the Supreme Court verdict was aimed at discrediting the judiciary and setting the country on fire, therefore, the DOJ will sue them for treason if they don’t desist.
The national coordinator of DOJ, Comrade Abdulhakeem Alawuje in a statement on Wednesday categorically asked Atiku and Obi to prepare themselves for another round of legal battle with the Disciples of Jagaban across the world for “this ignoble journey you have embarked upon.”
He sdaid: “Our initial thoughts was that you would pretend to be reliable and responsible after the landslide and much applauded Supreme Court Judgment by feigning some civility at the least. But now, you have climbed the trees beyond the leaves.
“You seem to have declared war against the very nation you called yourself a citizen of and you so much love to rule by all means however diabolical. You called the wind, you will have to deal with a whirlwind.
“The Supreme Court is not related to a clan, religion or political party. Everyone is equal before it. When you disrespect the apex court, you have offended the entire nation and you have committed a very serious crime.
“If anything, by your unguarded statements and unpatriotic actions, it is clear that none of you is capable of ruling this nation. You don’t have the character and the capabilities.
“Tinubu will not take you seriously. The court has ruled. You may go and hug a transformer. As a political figure, it behoves a person of Obi’s standing to guide their statement in public. You will be held responsible for whatever you say. Control your political emotions or prepare to face legal battles with us.”
The group, however, called on Nigerians to disregard the statement that Tinubu would have any confrontation with either Obi or Atiku supporters, distracting him from tackling the economic and security crisis confronting the nation.
“We personally warned the Vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, who failed to understand the limit of public statements. He thought he could make outbursts as comments. We have some respect and regard for your family. Any other further criminal agitation will make us respond to you accordingly. The other time you wept profusely in public for political insult on your family. That has shown us the level of your maturity in politics and your life experience.
It stated: “Tinubu is a focused president that none of your ranting and childish grumbling can distract. He has won all the battles you guys set up to discourage him from contesting. He won all the traps you set against him during the campaign, he beat you silly during your legal action right from the Tribunal to the Supreme Court.
“DOJ however urged the presidency to concentrate on governance and allow us to handle them legally. The last day of Supreme Court judgment was the time Tinubu has no case with any one of them.”
