The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has inaugurated his legal team to challenge the result of the just concluded presidential election.

According to a statement by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, the team inaugurated on Saturday is headed by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr Livy Uzoukwu.

“I have just inaugurated my legal team and charged them with the responsibility of ensuring that our stolen mandate is retrieved,” Atiku was quoted as saying in the statement.

He added, “I am encouraged by the presence of fearless men and women of the Bench.

“The judiciary which had in the past discharged itself ably is once again being called upon to deliver judgement on this matter that will be untainted by lucre and uncowed by the threat of immoral power.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the election on Wednesday, having polled the highest number of votes in the poll.

In his reaction, Atiku rejected the result, alleging several malpractices including the use of the military to perfect voters’ intimidation and suppression in PDP strongholds.

He had also accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of conniving with INEC officials and security agents to fabricate “bogus figures and outright falsification of the returns from the polling units”.

The PDP candidate, thereafter, said he would use all available legitimate means to challenge the result of the election.

On Thursday, he met with members of the National Peace Committee lead by a former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd).

Atiku assured Nigerians that sooner than later, the dispensers of justice would give a judgement which he said would represent “a historic denunciation of electoral fraud and mandate bandit”.

Meanwhile, the former vice president has vowed that he would under no circumstance “mortgage the mandate of Nigerians as freely expressed on the 23rd of February, 2019.”

He raised an alarm of alleged desperate moves to make him concede and congratulate President Buhari.

The PDP presidential candidate also alleged that his son-in-law, and finance director of his group of companies, Babalele Abdullahi, was arrested in Abuja on Saturday, as part of the pressure being mounted on him.

“In a desperate move to have Atiku Abubakar concede and congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari, officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at about 8.30am today (Saturday) invaded the Maitama residence of Babalele,” a separate statement by Ibe claimed.

It added, “They were, however, not given access into the house until his lawyers arrived.

“As a law-abiding citizen, Atiku Abubakar recognises the constitutional role of the EFCC and indeed any other agency of the government to carry out investigations, but will not be cowed by any attempt to blackmail him into mortgaging his mandate.”

HaHahahahahaha.... Legal team headed by Livy Uzukwu

Wait till APC unveil it's own legal team which am sure will be headed by Wole Olanikpekun together with Lateef Fagbemi, Niyi Akintola and the rest...

Exercise in futility...Mere Jamboree to keep his headless and brainless pigs busy and delusional for some months..

LET'S WAIT for the OUTCOME

Ozekhome now.

That's the right thing to do. You and the legal team are well backed by the forces of justice and the will of the people. May Allah bless our incoming President Atiku Omo Abubkar

Is like Atiku likes wasting his money, he’s allowing these hungry pdp elements on social media that want to get back into government by all means to deceive him. Atiku lost fair and square, no case here

The Legal team be like thank God we are going to collect from his loot

Oya Waziri let's go to Court

Agbakoba asked him not to challenge the results.

Lol

Evidence that Atiku is already a loser before going to court at all.

Ok. Fingers crossed.

Why are buhari supporters so jittery about atiku going to court?

With most of the recent court judgment going against APC i won't be surprised if the tribunal before end of may nulify the election

OSUN case which Adeleke is almost 95% sure of winning will kick start that wave of positive court judgement

All those saying that Atiku is wasting his money going to court...very funny!
money that he has in excess is least of his worries now

Anything is possible in the court of law. Last year, Kenya's Supreme Court Justices cancelled their presidential election and ordered a fresh election. I'm sure that the opposition candidate Raila Odinga, would have won if not that he pulled out of the rerun saying he doesn't trust the same electoral commission chairman that conducted the annulled to conduct a free and fair election.

Better, so that we can hear word abeg

Hmmm, another legal battle to last the next 3years then the result of the election will be upheld. We have seen this play out over and over. Time for SANs to make their own money.

baba just give up

Awesome.

Congratulations to the Lawyers.

Make una chop una own ooo.

Time to go and study law, may be dem go still dey court after 4 years.

It added, “They were, however, not given access into the house until his lawyers arrived.

Break the gaddemn door if you have a warrant.

Dead on arrival

U r a foolish man...legal team to defend what..? .live evidence of fraud.?...ji masun zombie..

It baffles me when youth see truth but instead hug deciet...
With the magnitude of malpractice that went on on the 23rd of February 2019...some people will still come here and be saying trash....most we continue in fraud .... If atiku has the necessary backing and proof then he should go ahead...after all this same buhari was in court all the time he lost .... With no such evidence as we have now against his APC and himself.

I can confirm to you that if the table was in favor of PDP...buhari's noise by now would have deafened Nigerians....

this wan no won gree accept im fate. until them extort all im looted money finish.

Shame no allow Atiku give up

BY MAY, BUHARI SHOULD BE BACK IN DAURA.


I BELIEVE U ...... ATIKU


EITHER BUHARI LEAVE QUIETLY WITH HIS OWN TWO LEGS OR WE BUNDLE HIM OUT OF ASO ROCK.



BUHARI FORGETS HE IS DEALING WITH A FELLOW FULANI MAN.

[b]Wrong Move by ATIKU.


To GOD, I do not like any of these 2 (ATIKU or BUHARI) old HAGS, but I believe
Nigerians know better and if the next level is what they all wish for, so be it.


I would have supported the Younger Ones, but people keep saying their
parties are not popular and all.


What angers me most is that these people are now beginning to throw the
citizens in ethnic hate and bigotry and this gives me CIFIA PAIN, i thought
we're all one.


Let us just see how the next level turns out before we can decide on what
next.


By the way, they intentionally increased the International Passport Fee so nobody is going no where, we die here

TINUBU' S ANTI-IGBOISM: LAGOS BELONG TO LAGOSIANS!

Our party condemns in strong terms the current hatred and dangerous divisions that the Tinubu and the APC are spreading violently round the nooks and corners of Lagos.

This is a big desperation to win elections at all cost and continue to milk the wealth of Lagos dry as he has been doing alongside his cronies since 1999.

The whole world witnessed the widespread violence that Tinubu in connivance with Buhari, fomented in Surulere, Okota, Ojota, Victoria Island and many other parts. Yet, the police and army looked away despite the deceitful shoot-at-sight order that was meant to keep the masses away from voting for who they want. It is Tinubu and his hegemony that is gaining from the violence in Lagos!

Meanwhile, the Tinubu hegemony has lost its popularity in the state as the people are now wiser. Welfare and infrastructure has eluded Lagos since 1999 despite several patches, jamborees and window dressing that the wicked hegemony has been counting as achievement. Since 1999, Tinubu and his party has been lying that they are transforming Lagos spending billions of working people's money on servicing fraudulent projects as well as perpetuating failures. A good example is the propaganda about roads construction. The whole of Lagos, as I write, is lacking seriously and massively in good interlink and intra link roads. This is why traffic jam has even grown worse in the commercial city.
AAC believes that Tinubu must stop this hatred against the Igbos in Lagos. They are Lagosians just as Tinubu himself who we all know migrated to Lagos from Iragbiji in Osun state. This is why our party has always posited that Tinubu and the ruling class does not believe in the "restructuring" they all shout around.

AAC will also like to warn the elements that are going around to campaign against the Igbos to desist as even Tinubu does not believe in the Yoruba nor in even Lagos nationalism.

If Tinubu believes in Lagos, why is it that he has First Nation Airline, and Lagos does not have one? Why is it that he has plenty hotels including the four-star Oriental Hotels, and Lagos does not.? Why is that the whole of Lagos have not built any new higher institution since 1999, the worst education performance in Southwest?!

There are only two people in Lagos- the poor and the rich.

We urge the Igbos not to be intimidated as they pay taxes like everyone. They should also not behave like Tinubu and return the hatred by directing it towards the Yoruba working people.

The homophobia that Tinubu is imposing in Lagos is aimed at two things. To continue to stick to state power, employing divide and rule. And also to keep stealing people's land and wealth by openly sowing seeds of discord and keep us all divided. The same Tinubu, when they wanted to steal the Egun people's lands at the riverine, they started the famous wicked rant -" Talo m'Egun wa!" Whereas, the Egun people are traditional Lagosians.

Sadly, the PDP is a bad example. Its Vice Presidential candidate, Peter Obi also deported some Igbos from Onitsha on the ground that they are not Anambrarians. We in AAC will remain non-ethnic nor nepotistic. We will stick with our class that is the majority; the millions of the working people of Nigeria in all the streets and estates.

We urge Lagosians not to be scared away from voting like the last time. We should unite behind the poverty and hardships that unite us all, not any ethnic nor nationality. The economy binds us all together. Let us come together come March 9 and vote Tinubu and his cronies out, and vote in Seun Ajireloja of the AAC and all our pro-people candidates contesting for the House of Assembly seats.

Lagos belong to Lagosians, not to Tinubu and his cronies.

A people united can never be defeated!
