Presidential candidate of the PDP in the February 25 Presidential Election has reacted to the judgement of the Supreme Court dismissing it’s appeal that sought to disqualify Tinubu as been eligible to contest the February 25 Presidential Election due to alleged double nomination of Tinubu’s running mate, Shettima.
The Supreme Court had yesterday, Friday, May 26, dismissed the appeal for lack of merit and described the action of the PDP as nosy busy-body and interloping in the internal affairs of the APC.
The Supreme Court judgement paved way for unhindered inauguration of Tinubu as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria sue to hold next tomorrow, Monday, May 29.
In a tweet on his verified Tweeter handle, today, Saturday, May 27; the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, while reacting to the Supreme Court judgement 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.”
Atiku said the battle for democracy and the enthronement of a new order to spur growth and development in Nigeria was 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 urged his supporters to exercise patience and conduct themselves peaceably as they diligently conduct their litigation at the Presidential Election Tribunal Court.
