Things may not be the way they appear. PMB might have the Acting CJN as his Ally but make no mistake, he is just one judge among the 7 to decide the case at supreme Court......after all the appeal court and the tribunals have done their jobs. Also, we need to bear in mind that cases are decided on facts and evidence and sound lawyers. I agree you can add " favour" from the judges but we all know what such favour is doing to some judges right now. Don't get it mixed up,Atiku has a right and he should pursue it. As for him spending more money, if you are a true Democrat, you would support him with your resources; money and time. I commend his approach and wish him well. Let it be on record that he contested against INEC, the Police, Thugs, Army and all military structures that aided any kind of malpractice. Let's find out if he is contesting against the judiciary as well.....we can only wait.


blackboy:
Best action even if he no win at the courts. That is due process but we all know Sai Baba has the courts too. Atiku owes him no congratulatory call. Saint PMB all the times he lost never called anyone to congratulate anyone but called for violence and went to the courts all the time. Atiku has never called for violence so I'm fine with that.

As long as I love PDP to win, I kind of love what Atiku and saraki are getting now. Let's assume that they both stayed in PDP including kwankwanso and the rest despite their hatred for that gentle man Jonathan either of the above three names would have become the president of Nigeria today. Leaving the party in 2015 was a very big mistake for them. U don't throw your birth right away even if u are angry with your family. Then 4years of Jonathan 2nd term seems very long and unbearable for them. But now only God knows how many years they would have to wait that is if they ever get the opportunity again sef, cos this set of APC can rig every month if election is done every month with different methods.
cheesy you got me at the last part grin,bit let's say the truth both of them rig but na Sai PMB our only General own get meaning,and moreover they collected money from Atiku without perfecting it for him...

Once more congrats to Sai PMB.....4+4 issa goal

Serves him right. He was the one that led a revolt against GEJ in 2014. This is karma dealing with him, Saraki and Kwankwaso. The remaining ones will surely get theirs someday.
I swear down. They should all enjoy what they created.
Whatever Goodluck did that was so horrible to them, Buhari has done 10 times worse.... It's sad that our country has regressed 10 steps backwards between 2015 and now but they were all part of who and what caused its regression. Buhari was NEVER an option.

Forget it. Buhari has the judiciary by the balls. You'd lose, even if you caught INEC officials on tape changing results and admitting as much.

You helped create this monster, and now it has turned on you. Enjoy man.

Learn to out-rig him next time, since Nigerian leaders don't want to have sense and conduct elections like sane people.

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. (See attached links to documentary evidences).

The militarization of the electoral process is a disservice to our democracy and a throwback to the jackboot era of military dictatorship. In some areas of the country, such as, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Imo states, troops deployed for the elections turned their guns on the very citizens they were meant to protect. This is condemnable and should not be associated with our electoral process in the future.

I am a de struggles for the past three decades, I have never seen our democracy so debased as it was on Saturday, February 23, 2019. 2007 was a challenge, but President Yar’Adua was remorseful. In 2019, it is sad to see those who trampled on democracy thumping their noses down on the Nigerian people.

Consequently, I hereby reject the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election and will be challenging it in court.

I want to assure my supporters and the entire Nigerian people that together, we will not allow democracy to be emasculated.

Who ever thinks Buhari is a dullard should have a second thought.


Buhari saw this coming that's why he sacked PDP's puppet of a CJN and install Justice Tanko. How thoughtful of him.


And do you think he did it for Nigerians or for himself? Nigerians are very short sighted. Buhari's second ten will be a dictatorial regime with APC majority in the Senate Buharu will have full control over executive, legislative and judiciary. Those who lived under hitler didn't smile. But I don't pity Nigerians; they are the architect of their own misery.

Make dem no start riots oo...we should just live with the result

When PDP was ruling .. the people especially the youths were complaining
When APC was ruling ... the people especially the youths were still complaining ..
no money , no electricity , no good roads , no jobs ,..no good hospitals.. no dis ..no dat....../..

When the chance came to vote for other parties .....the people especially the youths still went ahead to vote for APC and PDP....

Why ??... because they believe these are the only parties that can take them to promise land...Nigeria youths are not risk takers ..they like their comfort zone.

In America ..the pple took risk and voted Trump from nowhere into power .. In uk Thersa May took over the role of prime minister ..from being an immigration office .... Can Nigeria do the same ..no we belive so much in these old Babas milking and ruling us.

After the election ..APC was jubilating .. while PDP was unhappy ... the suffering massesespecially the youths were also jubilating and sad with them .

They had forgotten how these parties have been looting them for years and depriving them and children of good future... Goodluck Nigeria

God bless you..

Buhari is a dullard. Dude that cannot give coherent answers to simple questions or identify his own party people.

It's the Cabal that's making these moves. Buhari is just an executioner who waits for someone to tell him "Gubernatorial" so he can repeat it to the public. He's dull.

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has reacted to the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the February 23 presidential election.

The aggrieved former Vice President says the election was not free and fair.

He says there “were manifest and premeditated” malpractices in many states which negate the results announced.

Atiku said he will seek justice the democratic way by heading to court.

Below is his full statement.

“Democracy Will Not Be Emasculated in Nigeria

I thank the Nigerian people who trooped out in their millions to perform their civic duty this past Saturday. The patriotism of Nigerians is heartwarming and affirms my oft-repeated statement that we are brothers and sisters born from the womb of one mother Nigeria.

With regards to the Presidential elections that took place on February 23, 2019, it is clear that there were manifest and premeditated malpractices in many states which negate the results announced.

I am a democrat and there are democratic avenues available to present the truth to the nation and the watching world. Already, many international observers have given their verdicts, which corroborate our observations. I am sure more will come in the coming hours and days.

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.

Atiku has rejected the outcome of the election. Do your part to support him.

You need to see vidoes of northerners doing massive multiple voting. Anyone with photos, videos etc should start forwarding it to BBC, and I am sure they will start telling the world about our shambled election by the time they get hundreds of evidences from Nigerians.

If you are afraid, then create a new email ID and send your evidences without your name to make it anonymous to: yourpics@bbc.co.uk , haveyoursay@bbc.co.UK. Tell them how elections have been rigged by our incumbent president
.

Well-educated Nigerians, let us make the world know how much we have been disenfranchised. If care is not taken, election coming in 2023 will be much worse than this.
Re: Atiku Rejects Outcome Of Presidential Election, Heads To Court by Reference(m): 11:13am On Feb 27, 2019
For what abeg.? This is very disappointing. Whatever the shortcomings of the election process, I don't think it can over shadow the critical mass that voted for the ruling APC. The polls clearly indicates Mr. Buhari and the APC remain very popular . Nothing like the tectonic tilt in the polity as in 2015 happened, so I cannot see what the benefit of trying to create chaos through the courts.

However it is his civil liberty. The judicial process may throw new light into the electoral process which may in turn catalyse the much needed reforms.... but for the next one in 2023. What Atiku and the PDP should however do is to continue engaging on the issues they propsed to the peoples of Nigeria in their manifesto to see that this government gets serious about the economy, restructuring, etc. Then and only then will the 100 billion or so naira expended on the elections be worth it.

when he said he would be a Democrat in action after the election, y'all were quoting him to mean he would congratulate the winner either him or Sai baba automatically. But the real G knew what he was saying, he would challenge the results if they didn't favor him as he was thinking the back of his mind. A real Democrat like he ambiguously deceived his atikulated followers would accept defeat automatically regardless of the odds for him.
And here's the real senerio, international organizations are commending the elections along with their leaders but Mr Democrat is groaning and gnawing beneath a fake diplomatic expression of rejection.

OK. When buhari lost in 2003, 2007& 2011, did he (permit me to use ur words) "accept defeat automatically regardless of the odds for him"?

I think it is better you folks rather focus on the process itself rather than the players and try an improve that is creating a level playing field for all to aspire. That is the peoples responsibility. No leader can do that. No one will willingly uoset a system he benefits from.
