Atiku backs Tinubu, "You cannot break your own rules without creating problems."

Former Vice President and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Atiku Abubakar, has charged the leadership of the party on the promotion of rule of law and due process in the conduct of its affairs.

The former Vice President, who criticised the APC NWC decision on the Ondo governorship primary, also urged the party to admit that there is crisis in the party, warning that pretending that the APC is without crisis would be deceitful and cause more harm for the party.

Atiku in a statement by his media office yesterday noted that enthronement of rule of law and internal democracy are germane to the unity and stability of the party.

He gave the counsel against the backdrop of the festering crisis currently rocking the conduct of the APC gubernatorial primary in the state.

The Turaki Adamawa insisted that it is imperative for the national leadership of the party to live by the rules of internal democracy and respect for democratic consensus.

He said, "You cannot break your own rules without creating problems."

He contended that since the APC found veritable reasons to review the outcome of the gubernatorial primary election it conducted in the state, and was able to establish valid grounds to cancel that election and call for a fresh one, the decision to deviate from its own resolution is a negation of due process and an unfashionable hollow in democratic best practices.
