Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has inaugurated a legal team to challenge the outcome of the February 23 presidential poll in court.
This was contained in a statement by Paul Ibe, his media adviser on Saturday.
The legal team will be led by Livy Uzoukwu, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
Atiku had described the election as the worst in Nigeria’s history while vowing to seek redress in court.
The statement reads;
“I have just inaugurated my legal team and charged them with the responsibility of ensuring that our stolen mandate is retrieved”, Ibe quoted Atiku to have said.
“I am encouraged by the presence of fearless men and women of the Bench. The judiciary which had in the past discharged itself ably is once again being called upon to deliver judgement on this matter that will be untainted by lucre and uncowed by the threat of immoral power.”
