The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has rejected the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court on the outcome of the February 25, 2023 election, in its entirety.
Speaking through his team of lawyers led by Chris Uche (SAN) on Wednesday night, Atiku said he only got a judgement from the court and not justice according to the law.
The PDP candidate said he was expecting an outcome that would encourage the use of technology to enhance election management, transparency, and accountability so that Nigerians will believe in democracy.
The former Vice President said he was dissatisfied with the judgement of the court and has vowed to approach the Supreme Court to set aside the election of President Bola Tinubu.
He said: “Judgement has just been delivered, but we have not received justice. Luckily, the Constitution has given us the right to go on appeal.
“This is the court of first instance. We still have the right to go on appeal to the Supreme Court, and you see, this is a struggle that is not just for our client, but for the Constitution of this country, for the rule of law and democracy.
“We were expecting an outcome that will improve, encourage the use of technology to enhance election management, to enhance transparency, to enhance accountability, so that Nigerians will believe in democracy.
“So that Nigerians can come out in their masses like they did, to vote. We don’t want Nigerians to be discouraged.
“There are certain things and principles of law that he knows that we need to explore, and we strongly believe that when we get to the Supreme Court, it will have the opportunity to review a number of things that have been said here today.
“We have the instruction of our client to go to the Supreme Court. So, we have asked for the records. We have asked for the judgement. We are going to apply for the transmission of the records because we have a very limited time to push this.
“So, the struggle continues, and as it is said, it is not over until it is over.”
