An associate of June 12,1993 hero, the late Chief MKO Abiola, Alhaji Sufianu Kazeem, has knocked former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar over his comment on the planned August 1 nationwide protest.
He said for Nigerians to know that Atiku has their love in mind; he and his cronies should come out with their children and wives to lead the proposed protest.
Featuring on a radio programme at Fresh FM, Ibadan, the elder statesman said Atiku was more of a Dubai resident than Nigeria and should therefore bring back his immediate family comprising his wives, children and relatives to lead the protest.
He expressed displeasure about how disgruntled elements are going about the planed protest as if they are enemies of Nigeria.

Kazeem said: “It was the same thing the cabals did during the 1993 presidential election that saw the late Chief Abiola emerging as the president, which was later thwarted due to their selfish interest. The same way they have been going on with the planned protest.’’
“Let me inform Atiku and his cronies that are planning national protest that this is not the time for such unpatriotic move. This is the time for the Yoruba to be united and ready to defend President Tinubu’s mandate with all they have.
“Atiku and his cronies can come out on August 1 with their families in Dubai and lead a protest, for Nigerians to know they are serious. Let them come out with their families and friends and go to the streets for protest.’’
