According to him, the candidates should stay in the country because their talents, ability, and contributions are needed for the development of the country.
He, therefore, appealed to Atiku, Obi, and other candidates to accept the outcome of the presidential election as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking with The Punch, Atiku’s Special Assistant on Communications, Phrank Shaibu, slammed the protesters for their sponsored protest, saying his principal does not owe the group an explanation of his travel itinerary.
Shaibu, who stated that the former Vice President decides when or not to travel, asked the group to call on their President-elect, Bola Tinubu, to return to the country.
He said: “Atiku does not owe the group his travel details. He decides when or not to travel. Rather than waste their energy on frivolities, they should call on the man they claimed they elected to return to the country.
