Kola Ologbondiyan, a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman, has stated that the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will uphold the rule of law.
In an interview with The PUNCH, Ologbondiyan stated that if Atiku is elected President in 2023, he will not violate the rule of law or disobey court orders.
Ologbondiyan, the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation’s spokesperson, stated that the former Vice President’s political trajectory was heavily influenced by his obedience to court orders.
He stated that if Atiku is elected President, his administration will strengthen the rule of law regardless of whether or not court rulings favor his administration.
He said:
Atiku Abubakar is a symbol of the rule of law. He fought all his battles through the courts. When a man of his stature explored the law courts on all issues that concerned him, you can be sure that when he is sworn in on May 29, 2023, as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he will stand on the side of the law.
Atiku will also work with the National Assembly and the judiciary to improve on our jurisprudence.
