News: PDP Vows To Challenge Buhari’s Victory In Court

The Peoples Democratic Party has said it will challenge the
outcome of the March 28 presidential poll at the tribunal.
INEC, through its Chairman and Chief Returning Officer,
Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Wednesday, declared Muhammadu
Buhari of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of
the election.
The PDP through its agent at the National Collation Centre
in Abuja on Wednesday, when the final result was declared,
had refused to sign the result sheet despite its candidate,
President Goodluck Jonathan, having earlier conceded
defeat.
The agent of the PDP, Bello Fadile, who was in attendance
when parties were being called upon to sign the result
sheet, told journalists shortly after the result was declared
that the party was not satisfied with the outcome of the
election and had decided to challenge it in court.
“Whether I sign it (the result sheet) or I don’t sign it, does
not make any difference. It doesn’t invalidate the result.
When we go to court, then we can challenge the result,”
Fadile said.
When asked to confirm if the PDP will challenge the result
at the presidential election petitions tribunal, Fadile added,
“Sure! The party petitioned. Don’t forget. So the party will
follow through the petition. There are rules for this. The law
is there.
“The result was declared on the 1st of April, I think. We will
follow the due process. Like the president (Jonathan) said,
‘If you have any grievances, follow due process and the
due process in this instance is to go to the tribunal.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
