The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday, vowed to challenge the victory of All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in last Saturday’s presidential election.
Speaking in an ongoing press conference in Abuja, Atiku described the election that produced Tinubu as president-elect as a “rape of democracy”.
“The battle to fight the wrong of Saturday is not about me but about Nigeria’s future. The battle is to deepen democracy and the future of the youth,” the former vice president said.
Atiku said that the 2023 presidential election presented Nigeria with a rare opportunity for the country’s reset but was truncated by the conduct of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“INEC failed woefully to live up to expectations. The manipulations and fraud were unprecedented.
“It was a rape of democracy. The process and outcome of the presidential election were grossly flawed in every aspect,” Atiku added.
