The former Vice President, therefore, said that he would challenge the outcome in court.
Atiku, in a statement he personally signed early Wednesday morning, said if he had lost in a free and fair election, he would have called the winner, President Muhammadu Buhari within seconds of his being aware of the outcome of the exercise. He said, “if I had lost in a free and fair election, I would have called the victor within seconds of my being aware of his victory to offer not just my congratulations, but my services to help unite Nigeria by being a bridge between the North and the South.
“However, in my democratic struggles for the past three decades, I have never seen our democracy so debased as it was on Saturday, February 23, 2019. 2007 was a challenge, but President Yar’Adua was remorseful. In 2019, it is sad to see those who trampled on democracy thumping their noses down on the Nigerian people.
“Consequently, I hereby reject the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election and will be challenging it in court.”
Better congratulate PMB and have a rest of mind
I had supported atiku and had voted for him, but we have to accept the credibility of the inecnigeria and look forward for a better tomorrow.
Atiku is old now oo. I saw time wasting from both sides.🤔
I'm just wondering, how do u encourage people to have confidence in INEC and coming out to vote in d next Elections when they know their vote won't count. Shame on u INEC nigeria for being Manipulated. NigeriaDeciderigged.
GEJ didn't went to court in 2015 when he was defeated. He just accept defeat and move on. I expect Atiku to do the right thing by accepting the result for the good of Nigeria and the poor. Saraki is my man now bcoz he just accept the will of his people .Atiku should do same.
Just that there is no court!!
Adai rage na cifane 😂😂😂
It is expected
Safe journey
Fas ledi
This man is not smart, has he forgotten that that his comrade has been disgraced out of Supreme court? Chei who cursed him?
For me buhari is the most patient person to contest in any election form the beginning of democracy till now .....let the person that lost should accept his/her fate
YOU WILL LOSEATIKU LOOTER YOU WISH TO TAKE NIGERIA BACK TO EGYPT.,. GOD FORBIDE
I pity Atiku who carried major burden of this election! But I know by now all the campaign committee members will be counting their blessings naming it one by one!
Story
If reverse was the case, the herdsman president would have brought all the bokoharam & herdmens to destroy lives & properties by now but I respect atiku for taking the right course.
Is it buhari will appoint chief judge, calm down Njc will Appoint there own chief judge.
Atiku is fighting a lost battle
😝
This is God’s punishment. He took from people indirectly and now he is spending it directly. Once you are broke those people singing your praises will desert you.
We are with u atiku....never going back
This man don’t have single sense
We are waiting
He need to seek redress in court, afterall Buhari never conceded when he lost his 3 previous Presidential election.
Tanko Mohammed dey there! Highest rigging
A sitting president was more matured, when defeated.
Is the court outside Nigeria?
it's not a new thing and I know he may not get justice this election have just teach me when to do come 204.... When I will contest
I beleive they will cite Kenya failed election for NigeriaDecides2019 cc MrAyeDee AMADICHIMA
God willing victory is sure.
The judiciary is already compromised. Why do you think the former CJN was suspended so close to the elections? for assets declared how long ago? The best rigger won and that's that.
Good
Don't forget the court has been sanitized with d exit of Onnogen I know people like Secondus, Kola Ologbodiyan, Ben Bruce and Reno that have no electoral value whatsoever will be pushing you because of the money they still want to collect from you. Kindly accept it honourably
Lol...you better accept the defeat or they jail you!!
Chai the deal has been done I see this as a waste of time atiku Please use the money to develop our country Nigeria.
PDP_2019 He is on his own
Safe journey....
Is because of his desperate need. He knows that the is the last chance he have.
Keep your remaining balance, secondus and others won wreck you. You have been scammed so wake up before they wreck you
Congratulations Atiku! THAT IT’S WAY TO GO IN A DEMOCRATIC SET UP. PMB did same three(3) times before he became civilian president in 2015. Good luck and I hope the judiciary built by PDP 16 years rule affords you appropriate judgment. NEXT LEVEL TO GREATER AND BRIGHTER NIGERIA!
...heads to court to receive the kind of judgment PMB received in 2007 and 2011
That is OK. It is a legitimate action to take. It is good to the overall interest of democracy.
Who he eep?
I weep for this nation! Why do we keep wasting our time & resources every 4 yrs on this corruption called election.
We support u 100%
Why do we keep deceiving ourselves? What a waste, this is a big shame. Every 4 yrs, we spend trillions in the name of this mess
Hahah oh yeah
Mr atiku better accept defeat and leave everything to God
Jesus
God on your side...
Safe trip
I don't see any need for this. Atiku should just wait for 2023. Buhari has clearly said that nobody will unseat him!
I dont see any need for this. Atiku just just wait till 2023. Buhari has clearly said that nobody will unseat him!
Atiku should concede defeat
atiku SpokesManAtiku You'll definitely finish all the stolen money on ups and downs if you don't accept your fate. Looter!!!
Bad advice
Ibrahim tanko Is waiting for yah Hurry come before time passes Lawyers here is another mega job
Lawyers: Magga wan pay biggly. Lawyers must wack Abi.
atiku needed to score a knockout punch like he did to capture APC states of Oyo, Ondo..he needed to win the federal outright. He didnt. With almost 4m margin, this effort is empty and will never reverse the outcome. He should concede and help champion a better electoral system
I hope you'll realise nw that our dear Waziri doesn't hv a listening ear and nt ready to do the right thing DeleMomodu
Is good the reject then accepting defeat from apc
DreNwadugbo We are behind him
Not surprised...that is expected of him, go ahead.
The legal thing to do in a democracy! May his prayers be answered positively!
So all d figures in SE n SS were not rigged abi? Compare total no of voters in d SE and SS with wat they av in d north n see if u can merge dem. Aw many peep in SE n SS vote d way northerners. hausa man no sabi twitter
SANs gather here..............Atiku is coming oo! Dollars will rain.....A ti ku !
MizCazorla1 Accept results and shame southerners. Let peace reign.
Waste of time
Who cares?
The court Buhari owns😂😂😂
The lawyers are jogging down already...
We shall see him in court NextLevelConfirmed NextLevelAsurred
Which court? Simply appeal to Heaven.
Does he think Nigerians were gonna vote one who's hell bent on selling how national treasury? No Way.... Anyways, lucky for the winner,amumora for the losser...
Good luck
lawyers don hammer
A dawo lafia 👋👋👋
walecoker65 Which court? Is it not the same Buhari friends & relations that rigged the election that will judge your case? Just forget about the legal system under Buhari.
Verse from the Holy quran “O Allah, Lord of all dominion! You bestow dominion on whomever You please, and take away dominion from whomever You please, and You exalt whom You please, and abase whom You please. In Your Hand is all good. Surely You are All-Powerful.
That's the norm for Nigeria politicians
Good Buhari went through the same
Okay it is very good to give the less privileged food who are the less privilege na lawyers oo and who wan give dem food na Atiku ooo 🙄🙄
Wasteful effort!
Dele come and talk to ya brother, money don dey less o
Court? Good! He may be lucky to meet Justice Onnoghen there.
SegAkintayo Safe Journey 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice one lets go there and spend some dollars😂
I salute Jonathan for conceding defeat even before the official declaration of the winner of the 2015 presidential election. Atiku doesn't have Nigeria at heart.
NNPC is safe now
When we condenm impunity in our own and glorify it elsewhere what does that say about us ?
Safe journey
😂 ur dollars go finish
Atiku u dey funny
good
Oya let's Party Hard!!!! MBuhari and OfficialAPCNg
Can we call it a strategy to mobilize for Gov'ship election. This is the time to remind him... peaceacord
Here we go
After 3m vote ahead of you...werey ni Bobo Yi sha
Some people will never learn.Another wrong step in the wrong direction.PDP known of waste of resources and time.Welcome to another futile adventure
It's a pity that we are still in this stage as a country. Even India is strengthening their military force and economy while we are here throwing stones at each other. They should settle and discuss on how to improve the economy and make Nigeria a giant again.
Make he go hire satan cos Na God reject son😂😂😂
I spell war... person need to get outta dis shot hole
That court is a wrong move. He should know it's a set up already!
if only you people know the harm MBuhari has caused Nigerians in the past 4years
pls fight it through legal means not by violence as advised by some evil enemy if Nigeria
You are rational to yourself by heading to court. Omokri chop your Dollars and want to land you in jail by suggesting a parallel government.
Adawo lafiya. Safe journey
Haha
atiku well done sir. MBuhari cannot claim to be a democrat in Gambia and at the same time an election manipulator in Nigeria. He must get The Gambia treatment. OfficialPDPNig OfficialAPCNg realDonaldTrump MBuhari renoomokri DeleMomodu
It’s a must the lawyers too has to eat out of his 💰
My candid advise to the PDP presidential candidate and the party is not to challenge this result in court as justice would be denied them thereby aggravating their pain.The ground had already been prepared for the denial of justice ala Onnoghen.Go back to the drawing board
Thank God Buhari retire chief of CJN
...way to court to go and see Buhari's appointed judge, abi?
Good for democracy but please dear Nigerians say no to violence, no more destroying our properties, no more killing in their nation. Untied we needed !!!
Yes!
It’s time for lawyers to get their own share😁😁
My next world make me a from Burkina Faso please... Nigerian can never be good again...we have terrorist called boko Haram and we've still got theifs and liers called politians...every Conner for this country na scam..
Small chops for the boys
That's his prerogative.
Thought these guy ATIKU wanted to turn around Nigeria to good. Instead of him wasting the stolen money , why cant he call on the Federal Government . Fund a project which will be beneficial for the youth or masses eg scholarship to students,enhancing small and medium enterprises
Go to US not court
Even if this election is conducted ten times between atiku and MBuhari, MBuhari will beat atiku ten times. Why bother go to court? Just accept defeat and try again in 2027.
Please go with 100 Lawyers so that you can spend more of those looted funds from us
It is good thing to head to court, but PDP cannot exempt themselves from the irregularities in this Presidential Election. My advise to atiku is to congratulate MBuhari and let's move on as One Nigeria. He will gain more by congratulating the winner rather than doing otherwise.
bonario89 See his face
Eni ti sowonu to lo ba baba-lawo, owo ku to ma so nu. Sorry if you don't speak yoruba
At 72 yrs old, he understands he won't have a shot again for presidency which he has desired for the past 16 yes. So it's quite understandable for him to do anything possible to achieve his ambition despite the fact that the electorate has made their choice.
Ozekhome right now 😂😂
ADIMERU wetin do u? Going to court with 3.9m votes margin, plz are you with ur sense? 😀😂😋😁
This is d simple reason Nigeria is where it is. Buhari and Atiku is not the problem but Nigerians who voted for them knowing these two have nothing to offer Nigeria. Welcome to another four years of upgraded 2015 to 2019 if u know what I mean.
Aiki ya kama wani 😂🤣🤣😂
AH_Danbuba Let him spend all the money and go to court from now till 2023.. ko kan aye man😆 d money na stolen public fund...he did money politics, waisted money on campaign now his going to spend on lawyers too😉God is really faithful see as God dey collect all the stolen funds back..
Yes food for the boys again abeg ffk is a lawyer hire him too ! You get money and don’t know what to use it for
God go with him, at least lawyers go chop
Federal might will surely be used as usual to block every channel to challenge the results. Many arrests will surely be made. The courts/INEC may be gagged and the case may linger through out this tenure. Our justice system has been battered. Is there hope? Selah!
We the Nigerians reject the result. Waiting Affliction shall not rise the second time.. We reject it.
We will see him there
Job for the boys. More money to waste! SANs don hammer.
Congratulations to you sir, you can head straight to d tribunal, if you wish, if not, any attempt to forment trouble anywhere in our father's land will be met wit severe consequences, please b warned. Thanks for giving our own God given President a good fight during this contest
People must chop.
TempleColeq TrigagaT
Lawyers time to chop the dollars. Voters have taken thier share
faith9ice I connection to Atiku. I can help him to easily defend this case and win for him.
Good luck 🍀......Is there anything like rule of law in Nigeria?Who’s the judiciary? Some San lawyers will share some part of the money
Someone should advice him o. He has bad advisors .
MY VOTE STILL FOR YOU. I BELIEVE YOU WON THE RACE, BUT YOU'RE ROBBED LOGISTICALLY WITH DELAY STATISTICS USED BY THE ENEMIES OF PROGRESS. God bless Nigeria! ATIKULATED.
Apc knew they can't win in the SS and SE region, all they did was to make sure get the 25% . NW is 100% secured, SW and NE is 90% in the bag, NC will be shared. It will now become the game of numbers. What a move .
Dubai strategy , too late but u can still give lawyers their share .
U won’t win in d Court of law
Dubai strategy it won't work
PDP lawyers want to finish his dollars lol
By the time they use adjournments to finish this case ehn, PMB would have finished tenure
Do we still have courts in Nigeria?
MosesMi19 The right thing to do. God will use you to expose the demons holding Nig hostage.He will through you exorcise the demons out of our politics
please, we need the money. as Buhari don win, we need big legal professional fee to boost us for the next 4yrs.
atiku is just too predictable!
Good
We no gree it was rigged clearly
I wish you luck. I don't know that much will come of it, though.
Am waiting for you! Come with substantial evidence not dollars. Your highest bidder judges won't even get closer to me.
You will also loses in court as u lost the election. Most of Nigerians does want corrupt man to hold the highest office of the Land. Even your former boss said in this video you are a corrupt man.
Not surprised. Anyway this is the right thing to do. To satisfy all righteousness let the court adjudged if the election is well conducted and who actually wins. As for me I think we need to conduct the election again. Next time not same electoral team.
Chaiiii, does lawyer bad oo, there want kuku finish the remaining dollars
Unfortunately the present judicial setup looks comprised as well. I hate to admit it but it's more or less a hopeless situation. 😡😡
The greatest test of courage on earth 🌍 is to bear defeat without losing heart. Follow the path of the true democrats 🙏🏽
Who u wun meet for court... D man der is wit baba
Better...
Let's go there PDP SANS
Good Nigerian. If not more, i respect him for this. Resort to Court is best thing to do.
Let the battle begin
Wrong move mister ...... If you love Nigeria and Nigerians, Let it go. Service to the people is not by force. Face your private businesses .
This expected, you can't call that an election. It day light robbery.
In a country where there's no justice
He is very right, this robbery must be fought.
Good development, he will help develop our laws and spend more of the stolen loot to lawyers
Well, this is the best way to fight, not taking up arms or using thugs against each other. NoToViolence PeaceInNigeria NoToPostElectionViolence Peace Love NigeriaDecides2019
Waste of time. Even it the court declares him winner, does he think Bubu will leave Aso Rock for him?
Na shakara jor
He should allow peace in the country.
All the best! At least some lawyers will legitimately have their own shares too!
O sha fe Te! last last sha
Good
Weldone. You've got more than enough to squander. We will be awaiting the outcome soon
your Dubai Strategy to use Onneghen in the courts has long been smashed. We will be watching all judges keenly now.
Safe journey, Loser!
The stage have been set for wrestle between the cat and the rat. Buhari have been the faceless worm eating up the vegetation.
Only enemies of Nigeria will vote a Cameroonian.
Baba take faith 😂
Wrong move mister ...... If you live Nigeria. Let it go, service to the people is not by force. Face your private businesses .
Okk atikulation time🙄
Thank you very much Sir Atiku ABUBAKAR. let's fight this thing for once. They can't get away with it.
Expected
He should not take it too personal let naija suffer it
Better
Ojigbijigbi
Let the lawyers get their share of the Dollars stolen from Nigerians
Smiles.. Why not Accept defeat. The gap is fuckn too much
Another money wastage on the move
He still wants to spend
Wow
Going to court isn't cool...but the state we at now, I think we need to fight back.
His decision is democratic rather than the Venezuelan option! But with Tanko in the judiciary? 😂😂😂😂😂
APC saw this coming that's why the CJN was removed
The reasonable thing to do
Wrong move, no Nigeria will vote you when you are 76years
go and Spend the remaining of your money there
If not, how would lawyers get job.
Great move sir atiku we shall shock the world and the followers of the tyrant they called president. The will and wish of the pple will prevail.
Why's atiku fighting a lost battle. Is it not the same court that Tanko is in?
It`s not unusual!
Ire o... Won ma tan e pa ni.
I saw this coming
It's your Constitutional right
Good option.
Kukuma accept defeat
Inside life
I knew It will surely come down to this.
Let the 'games' begin
