Atiku is Free to Go to Court, Says Presidency via thisdaylive

The presidency Thursday in Abuja said it was not threatened by the decision of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory in last Saturday’s election in court.

According to him, both the country’s constitution and the Electoral Act provide that whoever is not satisfied with the results of any election can seek a redress in the court. “We are not jittery at all because the process was open and transparent. It was a credible election and we will continue to savour in the victory but in the process too, we will extend the hand of friendship for the purpose of nation building and reconciliation.

He also said the APC government would do more than it did in its first term, especially in the area of infrastructure development.
