UPDATED: Atiku rejects presidential election court judgement, heads to Supreme Court

, has rejected the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court , affirming the election of President Bola Tinubu. Atiku said the judgement “is bereft of substantial justice.”Atiku stated this at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday.

Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, as well as the Allied Peoples Movement had filed petitions challenging the victory of Mr Tinubu of the APC in the 25 February presidential election.Atiku explained that he is challenging the outcome of the last presidential election because he wanted the electoral process of Nigeria to be devoid of corruption.

“On this note, I urge all my supporters to remain steadfast. I urge them to take solace in an immortal lesson I learned from my leader and mentor, the late Shehu Yar’Adua, that losing a battle is less important than losing the war. We might have lost a battle yesterday, but the war is well ahead of us. And I believe that with our hopes in God, we shall win the war of restoring confidence in our electoral system.

Indeed, I am no stranger to legal battles, and I can say that I have a fair idea of how the court system works. All through my career as a politician, I have been a fighter, and I must say that I have found the judiciary as a worthy pillar to rest on in the pursuit of justice.
