The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday described the just concluded presidential election as the worst in the history of the country but vowed to challenge the outcome of the election in court.
The former vice president who stated this while addressing a press conference in Abuja, described the election as an implementation of grant theft of the people’s will,” but assured his supporters of victory at the court.
He alleged that voter suppression took place in Akwa Ibom which recorded 62 percent decrease in number of votes cast when compared to 2015.
According to him, while this was the case in Akwa Ibom, a PDP stronghold, “Borno state recorded 82 percent increase in votes cast despite the insecurity in the state.”
“The electoral fraud cannot produce a government of the people for the simple reason that it does not reflect the will of the people.”
“It is for this reason that I reject the result of the election as announced by INEC.”
The PDP presidential candidate said the party is in custody of “the real figures” from the election, adding that “this is the worst election in Nigeria’s democratic regime.”
President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was on Wednesday declared winner of the presidential election.
He defeated Atiku with over three million votes.
