The Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate in the February 25, 2023, presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, are scheduled to hold a world press conference today.
This comes after the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal dismissed Atiku’s case and upheld President Bola Tinubu’s victory. Atiku, along with his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, expressed their disagreement with the tribunal’s decision and vowed to challenge it at the Supreme Court.
Atiku’s Lead Counsel, Chris Uche, SAN, confirmed that they would file an appeal, stating, “The struggle continues.” The tribunal, consisting of five members, unanimously upheld Tinubu’s electoral victory.
Not satisfied with the ruling, Atiku and the PDP’s Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun, will address the press at the PDP National Headquarters’ NEC Hall at 2:30 pm, as per the invitation sent to journalists by the party’s National Director of Publicity.
