The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to accept his loss in the 2023 presidential election.
Dailytrust reported that Atiku came second in the presidential election and challenged the victory of the president in court, but lost as the Presidential Tribunal, struck out his petition.
The allegation of forgery was one of those compliant dismissed by the presidential election court and Atiku despite the ruling continued his case at the US court, which eventually ordered release of Tinubu’s academic records to him.
At a press conference on Thursday, Atiku spoke on why he went that length, calling on other presidential candidates to join what he described as a fight for probity.
But responding to the allegations raised by Atiku, Felix Morka, APC spokesman, said Atiku’s press conference “lacked purpose and delivered nothing “.
Morka accused Atiku of desperation and acting in a manner unbecoming of a statesman who once occupied the second highest office in the land.
“The PDP candidate in the last election has thrown every decency, decorum, dignity and national respectability out the window on his purposeless judicial voyage of discovery to the United States in search of a magic wand for taking power against the will of the Nigerian electorate loudly expressed in last February’s presidential election.”
He added that Tinubu had been cleared of the allegations thrown at him and that the school affirmed that the president graduated from the school.
“President Tinubu has undertaken to serve Nigerians and he will not be distracted by a man who has consistently failed to achieve his self-serving and brutal quest to become Nigeria’s president.”
