Atiku Abubakar took to his Twitter page to react to the Supreme Court judgement.
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last election has reacted to a Supreme Court ruling dismissing his suit against Kashim Shettima's double nomination.
In a post on Twitter, Atiku said the ruling is not a setback for his party, but a setback for democracy.
He wrote:
The Supreme Court's dismissal of the case of the @OfficialPDPNig is not a setback to my quest for justice. Our legal team are primed to robustly prove that the election of February 25 was fraudulent, did not comply with the constitutional requirements and the electoral guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission, @inecnigeria, and that the announced winner was not even qualified to contest the poll.
The battle for democracy and the enthronement of a new order to spur growth and development in Nigeria is one to which I have committed my all and for which I am not ready to walk away at this point when our nation is at crossroads. We know that sooner than later, our esteemed Justices will make the pronouncement that will serve as a befitting requiem for mandate bandits.
I urge my supporters to exercise patience and conduct themselves peaceably as we diligently conduct our litigation at the Presidential Election Tribunal Court. -AA
