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

Ebullience:
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.”

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

billante:
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

odiks:
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...

Wrong Move by ATIKU.

To GOD, I do not like any of these old HAGS, but I believe
Nigerians know better and 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

Let peace reign, calling people pigs isn't right in the sight of GOD the most high.
Now I don't know who you might be referring to pigs, but if this so-called pigs, say they aren't interested in Nigerians system again and they want to either leave or ignore the political system, I guess people like with such worlds of hate, would still call them names.
Now a man, whose party had felt deprived comes to exercise his rights in a goodly manner, rather than the former system of inciting hate and people coming all out fighting and protesting because they feel they were unfairly cheated. Isn't he a good man?
Now say your opinion, but don't speak with hate. Hate is poison to the soul and can destroy a man's very self.
God bless you and God bless Biafra We shall all be great in Jesus name. Amen.
