Breaking: Atiku rejects presidential election result, heads to court
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has rejected the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 23 presidential election.
“Consequently, I hereby reject the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election and will be challenging it in court”, Atiku said. “The suppressed votes in my strongholds are so apparent and amateurish, that I am ashamed as a Nigerian that such could be allowed to happen. How can total votes in Akwa-Ibom, for instance, be 50% less than what they were in 2015?
“I am a democrat and there are democratic avenues available to present the truth to the nation and the watching world. Already, many international observers have given their verdicts, which corroborate our observations. I am sure more will come in the coming hours and days”.
