Supreme Court Has ‘Legalised Forgery, Illegality’ Says Atiku Abubakar

The candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25, 2023 presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the October 26, 2023 verdict of the Supreme Court.

Addressing a world press conference in Abuja on Monday, Atiku described it as a “legalization of forgery and illegality”.

Recall that the Supreme Court had affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s election as president in February 2023.

The court also refused to admit fresh evidence of forgery against Tinubu which was obtained by Atiku from the Chicago State University.

He added that the current tenure of determining the winner of elections by the court aids “mandate bandits” to keep their loot.

Similarly, he disclosed that he will not leave the political arena despite the Supreme Court verdict of October 26, 2023 that affirmed the electoral victory of President Bola Tinubu.

“As for me and my party, this phase of work is done. However, I am not going to go away, if you think I am going to go away, forget about it.

“For as long as I breathe, I will continue to struggle with other Nigerians to deepen our democracy. I will continue to work for the return of political and economic restructuring that the country needs,” he added.

Atiku, a former Vice President between 1999 and 2007, have tried to become Nigeria’s President for about three decades.

Despite his unsuccessful attempts, the PDP stalwart said he won’t “go away”.
