Leon Usigbe – Abuja
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has announced his intention to mount a legal challenge against the conduct of the 2023 general elections, which he described as a rape of democracy.
Addressing a world press conference in Abuja on Thursday, he indicated that he would however appeal to God if he is unable to obtain favourable judgment with the Judiciary.
He also accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (PDP), Peter Obi, of running away from the PDP because he was scared of state governors who were insisting on producing, from within their ranks, the presidential candidate and the running mate of the main opposition party.
The former vice president said while Obi was scared away, he decided to fight the PDP governors who he said he was able to defeat at the national convention.
Atiku accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of conducting the worst election since the return of democracy to Nigeria.
