Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, has stated that he respects the decision of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), but refuses to accept it because it lacks justice.
This was said by the former Vice President on Thursday at a press conference held at the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja.
Atiku indicated that the “war” over the 2023 Presidential election is still ongoing and has asked his attorneys to file an appeal with the Supreme Court.
He said: “I respect the judgement of yesterday but I refuse to accept it because it lacks justice. In the words of my mentor, Shehu Yar Adua, ‘losing a battle is less important than losing a war.’
“We shall win the war of restoring confidence and restoring hope in our electoral system. The war is not over.”
Gistlover reported that Atiku had challenged the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in court, but the presidential election tribunal threw out his petition for lack of merit and upheld Tinubu’s election.
