Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the “war” over the 2023 Presidential election is still on.
Speaking at a press conference organised by the party on Thursday, Atiku said he has asked his lawyers to proceed to the Supreme Court.
Atiku had challenged the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in court, but the presidential election tribunal threw out his petition and upheld Tinubu’s election.
In his reaction at the PDP Headquarters in Abuja on Thursday, Atiku said, “I respect the judgement of yesterday but I refuse to accept it because it lacks justice. In the words of my mentor, Shehu Yar Adua, ‘losing a battle is less important than losing a war.’ We shall win the war of restoring confidence and restoring hope in our electoral system. The war is not over.”
