I will not give up, - Atiku reacts to supreme court's verdict.

 The Supreme Court of Nigeria has thrown out a suit seeking disqualification of the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate who is now president-elect  Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima.

A five-member panel of the Supreme Court held that the (PDP lacked the locus standi to institute the suit.

The PDP had claimed that Shettima’s nomination as Tinubu’s running mate was in breach of the provisions of sections 29(1), 33, 35, and 84(1)(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022.

The political unit brought it as their argument that Shettima’s nomination to contest the position of vice-president and Borno central senatorial seat at the same time contravened the law in crystal clear glasses..

“Our legal team are primed to robustly prove that the election of February 25 was fraudulent, did not comply with the constitutional requirements and the electoral guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and that the announced winner was not even qualified to contest the poll.

“The battle for democracy and the enthronement of a new order to spur growth and development in Nigeria is one to which I have committed my all and for which I am not ready to walk away at this point when our nation is at crossroads.

“We know that sooner than later, our esteemed Justices will make the pronouncement that will serve as a befitting requiem for mandate bandits.”
