I’ll never validate an illegitimate outcome of a flawed process
Peoples Democratic Party Presidential candidate in the last Election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said he did not give legitimacy or validate February 25 election.
Abubakar a former vice president of the federal republic of Nigeria said this while debunking a statement issued by unknown perosn attributed to him and purportedly giving legitimacy to the widely rigged presidential election of February 25.
In a statement which he personally signed, Atiku said ‘The so-called press release did not emanate from me or my office, and it should be treated with repudiation, untrue, and deliberately contrived by those who illegally appropriated the mandate of the Nigerian people.”
“For the avoidance of any doubt, I wish to state categorically that my lawyers still have my unflinching mandate to challenge the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.”
“I join other lovers of democracy in Nigeria and friends of our great country in the outright rejection of the predetermined outcome of the February 25 election.
“I shall continue to challenge the legality of that election, alongside my party, the Peoples Democratic Party.
“The decision to challenge the sham election of February 25, the worst election in our democratic history, is not predicated on my personal interest but for the interest of Nigeria and its people. It is aimed at deepening democracy and ensuring that we do not confer legitimacy to an outcome of illegitimacy.
“My commitment to the democratic struggle in Nigeria is beyond an election season.
