Atiku, Peter Obi vs Tinubu: PDP predicts possible winner at Supreme Court

On Thursday, September 14, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees expressed optimism that the party will get justice at the Supreme Court over the election won by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Recall that Atiku and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), rejected the presidential election petition tribunal's judgement delivered on Wednesday, September 6, declaring Tinubu as the validly elected president of Nigeria.

They have vowed to challenge the tribunal's verdict at the Supreme Court, the final court on presidential election disputes.

But a week after the ruling, the PDP BoT rejected the verdict, saying it would resist alleged attempts by the APC to foist one-party rule on Nigerians, Channels TV reported.

In a communique issued after the 75th meeting of the board in Abuja on Thursday, the acting Chairman of the BoT, Senator Adolphus Wabara, expressed confidence that the apex court has the capacity and courage to right the “wrongs” and correct the “errors” contained in the tribunal judgement in the interest of the unity, stability and corporate existence of the country.

“The BoT is confident in the capacity and courage of the Supreme Court to ultimately and decisively right the wrongs and correct the manifest errors contained in the Judgment of the PEPC in the interest of the unity, stability, and corporate existence of our country,” he stated.
