The Court Will Help Me Recover My Stolen Mandate – Atiku

Defeated PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is hopeful that his stolen mandate would be reclaimed by him.

Atiku who still stood by his not accepting the election results said he is confident that justice will prevail for him and the judiciary will the live up to expectation by naming him the rightful winner of the election.

His words, “As I had announced earlier, I have rejected the result of the election. As announced earlier, we have filed our petition before the tribunal or the courts because we believe this is a mandate that has been stolen from the Nigerian people. And I believe that the courts will do justice in this case.

“We still have confidence in our courts and we believe justice will be done. But the most important thing here is that between ourselves, we have been able to galvanize the people of this country to think alike and in unity.

“Of course, we have also come to realize and accept that the basis of our unity, our coexistence lies fundamentally on restructuring this country so that every part of this country can have a sense of belonging and have the opportunity to exploit their human and materiel resources for the development of the citizens while remaining in the same country.

“I therefore believe this struggle is a struggle that we must continue together and we will achieve it and I believe it is also achievable. I strongly commit myself to that. And Nigerians don’t have anything to fear or dread about restructuring of this country. After all, we started as a restructured federation and everybody felt at home with that arrangement.

“Of course, over the years, we all know how the military has virtually brought a unitary federation.

“Therefore, I want to thank you very much indeed for your support. The results we have achieved, particularly myself and the party I represent would not have been possible without your support across the country.

“Once again, I thank you very much indeed and look forward to continued relationship until our objectives are achieved.”
