“Be Glad You’re Walking Freely, And Not Yet In Jail” – Presidency Threatens Atiku

The special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has issued a stern warning to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, that he should be glad he’s walking free and not languishing in jail.

Lauretta Onochie stated this in a post on her Twitter handle, said she saw a photo of Atiku with some “weird inscriptions” and warned the PDP candidate in the February 23 presidential election, which Buhari won, to shun involving himself in any “mischief” that could land him in court for treason. She tweeted:

“I just returned to Abuja and saw @atiku’s photos with some weird inscriptions For one who is lucky to be walking free, whatever he is planning, he shouldnt forget that we have a President in place. Nigerians will insist that treason be treated as treason. He should counsel himself.

“When you lose an election, you either congratulate the victor or you challenge the election results in court. After foot-dragging, @atiku has now managed to go to court. It’s in the best interest of the nation that he continues in that legal path instead of stirring mischief.
