Declare Me Winner Or Order Rerun, Atiku To Court

People Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has asked the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) to declare him the winner of the Federal 25 election.

Alternatively, he prayed the court to order a rerun between him and the president-elect, Bola Tinubu.

In the alternative, he wants the entire election nullified and a fresh one conducted.

The petition by Atiku and PDP, a copy of which our reporter obtained yesterday, was filed late Tuesday by their team of lawyers, led by Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama (SAN), and is numbered CA/PEPC/05/2023.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are the first, second and third respondents.

Tinubu scored 8,794,726 votes to defeat  Atiku, who polled 6,984,520 and Labour Party (LP) candidate Peter Obi, who garnered 6,101,533 votes.
