According to him, INEC has “failed woefully” in its assignment and he tasked President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in order to save Nigeria’s democracy.

Atiku said, “The manipulation and fraud that attended this election were unprecedented in the history of our nation. It was indeed a rape of democracy. The processes and outcome of the election was grossly flawed and must be challenged by all of us.”

The former Nigeria Vice President stated that his lawyers have started gathering evidence and will subsequently head to court with the hope of reclaiming victory.

“It’s my hope the judiciary will redeem itself this time around and rise to society’s expectation as the last hope of our people. In the end, who wins is not as important as the credibility of our elections and electoral processes,” he added.
