Atiku, Obi Reject Tinubu, Go To Court

Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have spurned the gestures of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and are resorting to the courts to seek redress in the courts over the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC of the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate as president-elect.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart opened up on their resort to the court in separate fora on Wednesday.

GWG.ng reports that Tinubu was declared president-elect by INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmod Yakubu upon his declaration of the results of the presidential election at the National Collation Centre early on Wednesday.

Atiku declaring the declaration as a “a grave injustice which will not stand” said through Senator Dino Melaye, spokesman and Director Public Affairs of the PDP Presidential Campaign Committee, in a terse statement said there will be no going back on the battle to retrieve the mandate which he called a “stolen one.”

Melaye said: “A clarion call on all Atiku’s supporters all over the world not to be perturbed. Weeping may tarry till night but joy cometh in the morning.

 “This grave injustice shall not stand. The battle to retrieve our stolen mandate is a battle of no retreat, no surrender. We shall overcome,” he said.

Like Atiku, Obi speaking through his running mate Datti Baba-Ahmed also pledged to retrieve his mandate from Tinubu through the courts.

He said:

“On behalf of our presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, I address you all and indeed all Nigerians on the current situation in the country following the announcement of the purported result of the presidential election held on Saturday, February 25th 2023.

“Please be assured of our determination to fight the injustice that has been perpetrated on Nigerians through all legal and peaceful means. It is our position that the purported result did not meet the minimum criteria of a transparent, free and fair election,” Baba-Ahmed said.
