Atiku Abubakar Reacts To The Judgement Of The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal On Twitter

The former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal yesterday on his official Twitter handle this afternoon.

The popular People’s Democratic Party politician wrote, I am here today to give my official reaction to the judgment delivered yesterday by the Presidential Election Petition Court on the 2023 presidential election”.

“As you already know, I approached the court following the declaration by INEC that the APC and its candidate are the winners of the February 25 presidential election..

“My decision to go to court is anchored in my belief that the court is the sanctuary of justice”.

“The journey of my political career, as you know, owes so much to the courage and fearless decisions of our judiciary”. 

Indeed, I am no stranger to legal battles, and I can say that I have a fair idea of how the court system works. All through my career as a politician, I have been a fighter, and I must say that I have found the judiciary to be a worthy pillar to rest on in the pursuit of justice.

“The last presidential election in our country and the way it was managed by the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission, leaves behind unenble precedents, which I believe the courts have a duty to redress”. 

“Our gains in ensuring transparent elections through the deployment of technology were heavily compromised by INEC in the way it managed the last presidential election, and I am afraid that the judgment of the court as rendered by the PEPT yesterday failed to restore confidence in our dreams of free and fair elections devoid of human manipulations”.

Atiku will be going to the Supreme Court, as stipulated in the message that he dropped on his X handle.
