Atiku to Nigerians: No cause for alarm over Supreme Court ruling

2019 Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his party heads, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday, lost the battle in persuading the Supreme Court to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to grant them access to the controversial server they said was used to electronically transmit results of the February 23 presidential election.


Reacting to the Supreme Court ruling yesterday, Atiku said there was no cause for alarm over it while addressing a news conference through his lead counsel, Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, after the proceedings. 

He said the decision was anticipated and that proactive action had been taken during the hearing of the petition.

“There is no cause for alarm over the decision of the apex court as it relates to our petition at the tribunal. 

"The issue of server was aimed at establishing that the election was rigged during the collation of results and this was thoroughly addressed through witnesses and documents tendered and admitted during the presentation of the petition.” He added.

However, Atiku and his team plague to do everything within their power to ensure that Nigerians get the best out of his promises to the counry.
