Importance of Atiku’s election petition vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Atiku and his party rejected, and refused to sign the result. They repudiated pleas to concede, call and congratulate Buhari, claiming they had abundant evidence to show that the mandate was “stolen.” According to them, there were voter suppressions in PDP strongholds while areas that traditionally favoured Buhari such as Borno and Yobe states generated dramatically higher volume of votes even though they were attacked by Boko Haram terrorists on the Election Day.
It would have been ideal for the elections to end uneventfully as in 2015 when former President Goodluck Jonathan conceded even before the final results were announced. Although many of his party leaders loudly grumbled about “irregularities” and urged him to challenge INEC’s result, Jonathan peacefully gave up power and saved the nation from unforeseeable adverse post-election situations.
