“Nigeria has been on the edge due to the brinkmanship of those charged with the constitutional leadership.

“I strongly urge belligerent forces to reign in their proxies, and abide by the rule of law.
“As I have previously said, without the rule of law, there will be no rule at all.
The current goings-on portend grave danger, not only to law and order in that state, but to the coming Edo elections.
“The people of Edo should be allowed to choose who they wish to govern them, and that choice is to be made on Sept. 19.
“Pending then, everything legally possible must be done to preserve the status quo,” Atiku said.
