The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has insisted that his legal team will prove that the election was not free and fair.
Reacting on Friday to the ruling of the Supreme Court that dismissed the suit seeking the disqualification of Kashim Shettima as the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) for double nomination.
According to reports, a five-member panel of the apex court held that the Peoples Democratic Party lacked the locus standi to institute the suit. The panel said the PDP is not a member of the APC.
However, through his Twitter account, Atiku reiterated that his legal team will stop at nothing to prove that the 2023 presidential election was fraudulent.
“Our legal team is primed to robustly prove that the election of February 25 was fraudulent, did not comply with the constitutional requirements and the electoral guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission, @inecnigeria, and that the announced winner was not even qualified to contest the poll.
I urge my supporters to exercise patience and conduct themselves peaceably as we diligently conduct our litigation at the Presidential Election Tribunal Court,” the tweet reads in part.
