Alleges massive rigging, malpractices and non-compliance with electoral lawsShola Oyeyipo, Adedayo Akinwale and Alex Enumah in Abuja
Also at the tribunal were the National Secretary, Senator Umaru Ibrahim Tsauri; the National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan; other leaders of the opposition and some international observers. A member of the legal team, Chief Mike Ozekhome , while confirming the filing of the petition said: “The petition was solid, strong and unassailable,” adding: “The true owner and keeper of the people’s mandate would soon be declared.”Speaking on calls on Atiku to drop the legal action in the interest of peace in Nigeria, Tsauri said: “If you are cheated in Nigeria and in the world over, the last resort for the common man is the court.
Talking about the chances of his party to get free and fair judgment from the court, he said: “We know that we are dealing with a government that is ruthless and government that does not respect law. We know. But then, that does not mean we should not seek redress from the court because if we don’t do that it means the courts are not useful. So, we are coming to the court.
They, therefore, called on Nigerians, especially those in states where the supplementary elections have been scheduled to hold, to be wary of the antics of the Buhari presidency, as it has never been committed to free, fair and credible election. “Now that President Buhari, in his official capacity, has come out to state that he will not intervene in the March 23 Supplementary election; we ask, is Mr. President assuring Nigerians that any ‘soldier’ seen directly involving in the rerun election is fake and should be treated as such?”
He has to prove his case to conclusion and convinced to be declared as a winner which maybe very difficult to do
I think this Atiku & Buhari issue is a game well planned, is it the court that Buhari him self suspended and appointed the new chief judge few days to the election that you will sue him in? CorruptionisNigeria and Nigeriaiscorruption.
