The Presidency has come down hard on the People Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over his rejection of the Supreme Court ruling reaffirming the electoral victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, he said the former Vice President unravelled on Monday at a press conference in Abuja where he finally found his voice after more than 96 hours to respond to his trouncing at the Supreme Court in a landmark judgement on his grossly incompetent election petition appeal.

"Atiku tried very hard to perfect his act of misinformation by seeking to lay claim to faux morality and higher ideals when in actual fact his entire life is antithetical to any higher ideals. According to Onanuga,"we can only imagine the level of frustration that could make a former Vice President of Nigeria to hold such pessimistic view of a country where he once occupied the second highest position."We want to tell Alhaji Atiku this: Nigeria is not doomed. It is only Atiku's inordinate ambition to be President that is doomed.

"Atiku lost because he went into a major election with a fragmented and tattered umbrella that could not hold together. There was no way Atiku and PDP could have won the election with the party platform under which he contested broken into four parts.
