The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has rejected the verdict of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) that affirmed Bola Tinubu’s victory at the February 2023 poll.
While the court on Wednesday threw out Atiku’s petitions, that of his Labour Party (LP) counterpart Peter Obi and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), the flagbearer of the main opposition party says he is undeterred and has instructed his lawyers to appeal the verdict.
His party had earlier rejected the Tribunal’s verdict, saying it would consult its lawyers for the next course of action.
Atiku came second in the election and insists he won the exercise despite the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s declaration of Tinubu as the victor.
