Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) has reacted to the dismissal of his party’s suit against the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Atiku said that the court’s judgment will not deter him in his quest for justice.
Via a Twitter Post on Friday, the former Vice President said, “The Supreme Court’s dismissal of the case of the @OfficialPDPNig is not a setback to my quest for justice.
“Our legal team are 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.
“The battle for democracy and the enthronement of a new order to spur growth and development in Nigeria is one to which I have committed my all and for which I am not ready to walk away at this point when our nation is at crossroads.
“We know that sooner than later, our esteemed Justices will make the pronouncement that will serve as a befitting requiem for mandate bandits,” he said.
Atiku, however, urged his supporters to exercise patience and conduct themselves peaceably as they conduct the litigation at the Presidential Election Tribunal Court.
Recall, Theliberationnews reported that the Supreme Court, on Friday, affirmed the eligibility of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to contest the presidential election that held on February 25.
The apex court, in a unanimous decision by a five-member panel, held that an appeal the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, filed to challenge the legality of Tinubu’s candidacy, lacked merit.
