BREAKING: Atiku rejects presidential election results, unveils next step
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in last Saturday’s election, Atiku Abubakar, has rejected the result of the poll as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission on Monday morning.
“If I had lost in a free and fair election, I would have called the victor within seconds of my being aware of his victory to offer not just my congratulations, but my services to help unite Nigeria by being a bridge between the North and the South,” Mr Abubakar said in a statement emailed to PREMIUM TIMES.
Giving reason for rejecting the result of the election, Mr Abubakar said, “… It is clear that there were manifest and premeditated malpractices in many states which negate the results announced. The PDP candidate also provided links to some online publications as evidence that the election was flawed. SEE BELOW.Democracy Will Not Be Emasculated in Nigeria, By Atiku Abubakar
Another glaring anomaly is the disruption of voting in strongholds of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos, Akwa-Ibom, Rivers and diverse other states, with the authorities doing little or nothing and in some cases facilitating these unfortunate situations. .
