Peoples Democratic party (PDP), 2023 Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has hinted of his return to run for presidency again in 2027 despite the Supreme Court’s verdict upholding the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.
A press briefing on Monday in Abuja, Atiku said: “I am not going to go away. If you think I am going to go away, forget about it. For as long as I breathe, I will continue to struggle with other Nigerians to deepen our democracy. I will continue to work for the return of political and economical restructuring that the country needs.”
Atiku, insisted that Tinubu was not qualified to contest the 2023 poll and accused the Supreme Court and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of supporting “illegality, identity theft, impersonation, forgery of certificates and pejury”
Former Vice president who including the 2023 election, have lost six presidential elections held that the Supreme Court’s judgment is the final but left “much to be desired.”
It could be recalled that Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Atiku against the election of President Bola Tinubu on Thursday.
In a unanimous verdict, the court ruled that the appeal filed by Atiku lacked merit.
“On the whole, it is my view that there is no merit in this appeal,” Justice Inyang Okoro said.
