Ahmed had grilled Abubakar and his running mate, Peter Obi, during the live Television show on Wednesday night.
Nigerians, however, accused Ahmed of being partisan, due to the nature of some of her questions she threw at them.
However, Secondus said the duo outperformed the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
Speaking in Delta on Thursday, Secondus said she brought out the best in the Atiku-Obi.
The APC Chairman also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies to abide by the constitution of the federal republic.
He said: “But when she fired our president (Atiku), the best came out of him. You can see the president who can engage, and by the special grace of God, everything that you need; employment, food, better economy, you will see in Atiku.
“Today, by your mandate, we warn INEC, and we believe there are good people in INEC. We know that government is pressurising INEC to rig this election. If they rig this election, they are looking for war.
“If they want peace, they should not rig this election. We want to also advice our security agencies, we know there are good people there, protecting lives and property.
“We believe that they would obey the constitution, not to break it like Mr. President (Buhari) is breaking our laws. If they break it, what are they looking for? War.”
