…Says He Will Continue To Challenge The Legality Of 2023 Election
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has said he will never validate an Illegitimate outcome of a flawed process.
Atiku, who was referring to the 2023 presidential election, said that he has been notified of a fake press release attributed to him and purportedly giving legitimacy to the widely rigged presidential election of February 25.
Atiku, in a statement said: “The so-called press release did not emanate from me or my office, and it should be treated with repudiation, untrue, and deliberately contrived by those who illegally appropriated the mandate of the Nigerian people.
“For the avoidance of any doubt, I wish to state categorically that my lawyers still have my unflinching mandate to challenge the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.
“I join other lovers of democracy in Nigria and friends of our great country in the outright rejection of the pre-determined outcome of the February 25 election.”
The former Vice President said that he will continue to challenge the legality of that election, alongside his party, the Peoples Democratic Party.
“The decision to challenge the sham election of February 25, the worst election in our democratic history, is not predicated on my personal interest but for the interest of Nigeria and its people. It is aimed at deepening democracy and ensuring that we do not confer legitimacy to an outcome of illegitimacy.
“My commitment to the democratic struggle in Nigeria is beyond an election season,” Atiku stated.
