Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, will address a global press conference today.
The development comes after the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) dismissed Atiku’s petition against President Bola Tinubu.
Following the ruling of the Presidential Tribunal, Atiku’s Lead Counsel, Chris Uche (SAN), stated that his client had instructed him to file an appeal with the Supreme Court.
He said “The judgment has been delivered but we have not received justice. Luckily, the law has given us leverage to go on appeal to the Supreme Court. We have instructions from our clients to go to the Supreme Court. The struggle continues.”
Meanwhile, Atiku and the PDP’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagun, have announced that they will address the world press on the development.
The meeting, which will be held at the NEC Hall on the ground floor of the PDP National Headquarters, is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m.
The invite sent to journalists by the party’s National Director of Publicity read, “Hello Gentlemen of the Press, good evening.
“This is to invite you to a press briefing to be addressed by the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagun and PDP Presidential Candidate, H.E. Atiku Abubakar, GCON.”
