The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is set to file its petition at the election Tribunal, Abuja on the recently held presidential election where its candidate, Atiku Abubakar lost to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The PDP said it plans to contest the outcome of the Presidential elections, and the leadership told its its expanded caucus meeting on Monday which held at the PDP national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja that they were ready to file their petition.
He reiterated that staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were intimidated to carry out the bidding of the ruling party, the All Progressive Congress and flayed the Buhari-led government’s “use of the military to harass the electorate in some parts of the country in the course of the elections.
Secondus said: “Nothing will make us waver in the pursuit of justice. The decision to go to court has been finalised and the process has began. We will file our petition today (Monday) or tomorrow (Tuesday). No matter what anyone will do or what the APC will say, we will seek justice to the highest court of the land.
“What happened during this election has never happened in the history of this country. They are celebrating criminality, they are celebrating evil. Our leaders are not talking and if you don’t speak against evil, it will consume everybody. The National Peace Committee is not saying anything.”
