Press Statement
Loading ...The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari
and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop their unnecessary
fabrications, smear campaign and prepare to face its legal team at the
Presidential election tribunal.
The party says President Buhari is overweighed by the burden of
illegitimacy, following overwhelming evidence before the tribunal that
he stole the Presidential mandate, hence this lame attempt at
blackmailing the tribunal by engaging in clear acts of subjudice.
The PDP states that the facts and issues touching on the INEC server are
already within the public domain and Nigerians are already at home with
them.
By resorting to shadow-boxing outside the tribunal, President Buhari and
the APC have shown that they have no defence to present to the court
against PDP’s submission that they stole our mandate.
It is even more appalling that Festus Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria (SAN) and a member of Buhari’s legal team, who should know
better, would engage in this act of subjudice designed to distort facts
already known to Nigerians, that our Presidential Candidate and former
Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, clearly won the February 23 Presidential
election.
Since it has become clear that President Buhari has no defence to
present to the court, we counsel him to save the nation further stress
by surrendering our mandate, which was freely given by majority of
Nigerians to Atiku Abubakar.

Kola Ologbondiyan
National Publicity Secretary
