Presidential Election: Go To Court If You Wish – APC Tells Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has been told to make good his threat of seeking
legal redress over the outcome of the just concluded presidential race.

The
advise is coming from the All Progressive Congress (APC) whose
candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari, won the race which began last
weekend.

Mr Buhari trounced the former vice president widely
known as Atiku, by over 4 million votes to actualize his second term
political ambition.

The loser while reacting to the development
threatened to reclaim his alleged mandate through the judiciary. Atiku
said had the rescheduled exercise been free, fair and credible, he would
have wasted no time to congratulate the winner, a demand one of his
supporters had made.

But speaking through Boss Mustapha, the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) the party said it
was not bothered by the option of the PDP candidate to seek redress in
court.

Mr Mustapha spoke on Wednesday night after a thank-you
dinner organised by Buhari for the campaign organisation of the All
Progressive Congress (APC) to celebrate his victory at the poll.

“We are not jittery at all because the process was open and transparent,” the SGF said.

“It
was a credible election and we will continue to savour in the victory
but in the process too, we will extend the hand of friendship for the
purpose of nation-building and reconciliation

“Our Electoral Act
and the constitution have both provided a window for whoever is
dissatisfied with the process of election to seek redress. That is the
path, and we will encourage them to go along that path,” the party said.

The APC said with the president’s re-election, the administration will invest more on infrastructural development.
