Atiku Abubakar responded to the Supreme Court’s rejection of PDP’s lawsuit
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded 2023 election has responded to the Supreme Court’s rejection of PDP’s lawsuit concerning the alleged double nomination of Kassim Shettima.
Our updates reports that in agreement with the lower courts’ decisions, the apex court declared that the PDP lacked the legal standing to pursue the case. Justice Adamu Jauro, delivering the judgment, stated that the PDP had acted as an unauthorised party, referring to their involvement as unnecessary meddling.
Nonetheless, Atiku Abubakar took to his verified Twitter account to express his perspective on the Supreme Court’s dismissal of the PDP’s case.
He emphasised that this setback does not deter his pursuit of justice. He affirmed that his legal team is fully prepared to substantiate their claim that the February 25th election was fraudulent, failed to adhere to constitutional requirements and the electoral guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (@inecnigeria), and that the declared winner was not eligible to participate in the poll.
