The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has inaugurated a legal team which include 17 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN), to challenge the controversial presidential election of February 25.
While inaugurating the legal team on Tuesday, March 8, at his campaign headquarters in Abuja, Atiku charged members to establish the claim of illegality in the February 25 presidential election and reclaim the mandate of the Nigerian people.
The PDP candidate instructed the legal team that apart from reclaiming the mandate from those who “undertook the electoral heist”, they should also use the opportunity of the trial to strengthen constitutional democracy in the country.
He said it was imperative that they work assiduously in reclaiming the mandate not necessarily because of him and the PDP, “but to strengthen democracy and the electoral process and for generations unborn.”
