'You are a serial loser' - Tinubu slams Atiku

The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has questioned the legal competence of the petition the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and its flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, filed to nullify his election.

Tinubu, in a preliminary objection he entered before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), in Abuja, stated that Atiku is a consistent serial loser that has always lost in his bid to lead the country since 1993.

Tinubu said: “The 1st petitioner (Atiku) has been consistently contesting and losing successive presidential elections in Nigeria since 1993, whether at the party primary election level or at the general election; including 1993, when he lost the Social Democratic Party (SDP) primary election to the late Chief M.K.O Abiola; 2007, when he lost the presidential election to the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua; 2011, when he lost the Peoples Democratic Party presidential primary election to President Goodluck Jonathan; 2015, when he lost the APC primary election to President Muhammadu Buhari; 2019, when he lost the presidential election to President Muhammadu Buhari; and now, 2023, when he has again, lost the presidential election to the 2nd respondent (Tinubu).

“It was/is not a surprise and/or not by accident that the electorate rejected the 1st petitioner at the polls of the presidential election held on 25th February, 2023.”

He added that Atiku was without a stable political platform and has lost majority of his key supporters, in view of his habit of jumping from one political party to another.
