Atiku in a personally statement sent to CityNews Nigeria on Saturday said he would never give legitimacy to the widely rigged presidential election of February 25.
His statement comes as a reaction to reports in certain quarters claiming that he has decided to withdraw the court case instituted against Tinubu’s victory.
But the PDP candidate insisted that his lawyers have his express instruction to challenge the outcome of the 2023 presidential election and nothing has changed.
Atiku added that he and his party; the PDP will continue to challenge the legality of that election, adding that the battle is not personal but for Nigeria and the country’s democracy.
He said in the statement: “I have been notified of a fake press release attributed to me and purportedly giving legitimacy to the widely rigged presidential election of February 25.
“The so-called press release did not emanate from me or my office, and it should be treated with repudiation, untrue, and deliberately contrived by those who illegally appropriated the mandate of the Nigerian people.
“For the avoidance of any doubt, I wish to state categorically that my lawyers still have my unflinching mandate to challenge the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.
“I join other lovers of democracy in Nigeria and friends of our great country in the outright rejection of the predetermined outcome of the February 25 election.
“I shall continue to challenge the legality of that election, alongside my party, the Peoples Democratic Party.
“The decision to challenge the sham election of February 25, the worst election in our democratic history, is not predicated on my personal interest but for the interest of Nigeria and its people. It is aimed at deepening democracy and ensuring that we do not confer legitimacy to an outcome of illegitimacy.
My commitment to the democratic struggle in Nigeria is beyond an election season.”
