The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate in the 2023 General Elections, Atiku Abubakar, has said his legal battle with President Bola Tinubu is fight to finish until the Supreme Court.

Atiku, who spoke at a press conference in Abuja, insisted that, “I will only drop the fight when the court rules. If the court rules that I am right, fine. If the court rules that he is right, fine. So that’s the end of the fight, because, at the moment, we are the Supreme Court, and there is no other higher court than the Supreme Court.”

Atiku had requested the release of President Tinubu’s certificate from the Chicago State University over the suspicion that the certificate the former Lagos State governor submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may not be authentic.

The school had released the certificate to Atiku’s team, which the former vice president, who is challenging Tinubu’s election, hopes to present as fresh evidence to the Supreme Court.

Also, Atiku requested Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, both Presidential candidates of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria Peoples Party respectively, and other Nigerians to join his quest for “justice” over the matter.

He said, “This quest is not for or about Atiku Abubakar. It is a quest for the enthronement of truth, morality, and accountability in our public affairs. In line with this, therefore, I am calling on all well-meaning Nigerians, leaders of thought, our religious leaders, our traditional leaders, our community leaders, our political leaders, and in particular, Governor Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP and, the leaders of every political party in Nigeria, and, indeed, every single person who loves this country, as I do, and who wishes nothing but the best for the country, as I do, to join me in this campaign to enshrine probity, accountability and the basic principles of justice, morality and uprightness in our country and in our government,” he said during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday. “This is a task for each and every one of us.”
