PEPT: Atiku Rejects Tribunal Verdict, Heads To Supreme Court

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has rejected the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), affirming the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 Presidential election.

Atiku made his stance known at the press conference in Abuja on Thursday.

The PEPC threw out Atiku and Labour Party’s Peter Obi’s petitions against Tinubu over lack of merit.

Reacting, Atiku said “Though the judgement of yesterday is respected, it is a judgement I refused to accept. I refused to accept the judgement because I believe it is bereft of substantial justice.”
