The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi, said they will seek redress in court.

They all spoke Sunday after the declaration of Tinubu as president-elect on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP described Tinubu’s victory as “a grave injustice which will not stand.”

Senator Dino Melaye, spokesman and Director Public Affairs of the PDP Presidential Campaign Committee, in a terse statement on Wednesday evening, said there will be no going back on the battle to retrieve the mandate which he called a “stolen one.”

Melaye said: “A clarion call on all Atiku’s ers all over the world not to be perturbed. Weeping may tarry till night but joy cometh in the morning.

“This grave injustice shall not stand. The battle to retrieve our stolen mandate is a battle of no retreat, no surrender. We shall overcome,” he said.



We’ll contest defeat through legal means – Obi

Obi on the other hand, has said he would contest Tinubu’s victory through legal and peaceful means.

He said this on Wednesday in Abuja at a press conference addressed by his running mate, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed.

“On behalf of our presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, I address you all and indeed all Nigerians on the current situation in the country following the announcement of the purported result of the presidential election held on Saturday, February 25th 2023.

“Please be assured of our determination to fight the injustice that has been perpetrated on Nigerians through all legal and peaceful means. It is our position that the purported result did not meet the minimum criteria of a transparent, free and fair election,” Baba-Ahmed said.

He, however, thanked all Nigerians for their belief in them and for coming out en masse to vote for the Labour Party and for the cause they believed in, which he said was the birth of a new Nigeria.

Why's Atiku going to court?

Father and son heads to Court!
Losers, accept defeat and stop disturbing us with unnecessary noise! 🤣

Instead of them to congratulate their boss,when tinubu started politics in nigeria,Dino was still sug president.

Good, those justices in courts will be watched EVERY STEP of the way by the world. Let's see them do their usual abracadabra.

There will be sustained news reportage on all the proceedings by the global community.

The electoral heist will not stand.

.

This people are playing with fire.

Let's watch and see.

On OBI-DATTI mandate I stand gidigba

They need to dash lawyers some money. Bunch of clowns forming oppositions.

Meanwhile, to kick PDP out of government,the APC needed an alliance of ACN, C and nPDP.And they defeated PDP despite PDP's rigging strategy

8 years later,the PDP wanted to get APC out of govt. And to do that, they divided themselves into NNPP, LP, G5 and PDP.The result is not surprising.

Tunechi5:

Tinubu , the Governor Elect advised them to go to court as a peaceful option.

Tinubu should stop deceiving himself. He must show the world how he got 8.7million votes.

INEC spent a total of N105.25 billion to procure the B-VAS machines they boycotted. Nigeria is a brazen criminal enterprise that ought not to exist or sit among the comity of nations.

Pledge fairness? To who? With the brazen electoral irregularities witnessed in this election? Nope! You lied.You ain't going anywhere yet.

This is so shameful, despicable and unacceptable that INEC will be legalising electoral fraud then as the courts to decide the winners of Nigerian elections. It is as good as saying the INEC is grossly useless.

I'm loving this. Let's see if the judiciary will embarrass themselves as the world is also watching. Shame on every urchin that is taking pride in this rubbish as victory. You all are criminal minded and you all failed woefully.

Let's see how things will unfold


Dear CEO, make sure you your business with the Corporate Affairs Commission

Nwodosis:

Tinubu , the Governor Elect advised them to go to court as a peaceful option.

The thief will just turn this country upside down. Man wey him brain dey touch. It's quite unfortunate that I share a country with some bunches of fools.

Obi must fight this case in courts. Victory is for sure!

Nothing come out oooo....... Let's move on.

Make all of them still dey play.

Make that call and congratulate the president elect!

Atiku and Okowa want to plunge Delta State into further debt!

Obi and Atiku are not meant for Nigerian politics. Especially Obi, he's a foreign material.

If Dino Melaye was the PDP presidential candidate, by now serious unrest for don dey this country.
