Why Tinubu should strip Atiku of national honour, the group explains
As reported by Vanguard, the group urged Tinubu to strip the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 presidential election, of his national honour, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger GCON, saying there is nothing grand about a man who seeks to rubbish the office of the president for partisan reasons.
The coalition argued that there is nothing honourable about Atiku for making such baseless allegations regarding the authenticity or otherwise of a Chicago State University CSU certificate presented by President Tinubu for the elections.

"Ignore Peter Obi", group tells Tinubu
Addressing a press conference Tuesday, October 10 in Abuja, Convener of the CSOs, Dr Ene Lilian Ogbole, also urged Nigerians to ignore the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party LP, Peter Obi, “for dragging the image of Nigeria in the mud.”
She said stripping Atiku of his national honour, usually reserved for vice presidents, would serve as a deterrent to others so that Nigerians can begin to henceforth attach some regard to the office of the President.
Dr Ogbole also lambasted Mr Obi for questioning the identity of President Tinubu, describing it as childish, shameful and laughable.
