Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar has advised the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to set up a committee which will review recent election in Nigeria.

Atiku stated this during the 87th emergency National Executive Council (NEC) of the PDP on Friday, in Abuja.

He also advise the party to not disregard the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies in the recent elections.

He said, “It is has become necessary for us to mobilise Nigerians to resist the threat to our democracy, unity and development.

“Therefore, I will like to propose a strong committee to review the last elections and recommend to the party needed reforms to address the challenges in the last elections be set up forthwith.

“But what cannot wait is that we should not take what has been happening in our democratic processes from the role of INEC, role security agencies and the judiciary for granted.

“If we take all these roles for granted that will be the end of our hard earned struggle and including our founding members, who are today not alive.

“What can we say we have done to their struggles as they lay in their graves?

“Therefore, as long as we are alive, it is our responsibility to reincarnate the struggle they led that brought about the democracy today that the APC government is threatening".
