Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar said he believed the 2023 elections results will be overturned in the party’s favour.
Speaking in Abuja on Wednesday, the former Vice President told party faithful to remain steadfast as Nigeria goes to the polls to elect governors and national assembly officials, urging them to cast their votes for PDP candidates.
“As attested to by both local and international observers, the result of the February 25 presidential election, as announced by INEC, was grossly tainted and did not reflect the will of the electorate.
“You all have demonstrated this blatant injustice through different media. For that, I thank you again for your non-violent conduct, despite the provocations.”
“The INEC chairman further ignored calls for a review of the process in line with the law,” he said.
“You must never give in to apathy. I assure you that the electoral fraud perpetrated by INEC will be reversed in due course, as I champion the cause to reclaim our mandate.
“We, as citizens, must continue to show resilience in the defense of our democracy and in the exercise of our rights to vote. As the March 18 governorship and Houses of Assembly elections beckon, I urge you, as patriotic citizens of our dear country, to come out in your numbers to cast your votes. That is one of the ways you can demonstrate against the sham of an election of February 25,” he stressed.
