He said, “I have already filed my appeal against him at the Supreme Court. It is only when the court rules that he is right that I will drop this fight; in other words, I will drop this fight when the court rules because there is no court higher than the supreme court.”

He also called on Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), to join him in the fight to establish the authenticity of Tinubu’s certificate.

“The reputation of our country is at stake and that affects Nigerians everywhere and wherever they may be,” Atiku said.

Atiku had filed a petition at the Supreme Court challenging Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 presidential election on the grounds including that Tinubu did not possess the required academic qualifications to contest the election.
