The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday described the election that produced Tinubu as president-elect as a “rape of democracy”.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Atiku owed to challenge the purported victory of All Progressives Congress presidential candidate candidate in last Saturday’s presidential election.
The former vice president said the 2023 presidential election presented Nigeria with a rare opportunity for the country’s reset but was truncated by the conduct of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“INEC failed woefully to live up to expectations. The manipulations and fraud were unprecedented.
“It was a rape of democracy. The process and outcome of the presidential election were grossly flawed in every aspect,” Atiku said.
He added, “The battle to fight the wrong of Saturday is not about me but about Nigeria’s future. The battle is to deepen democracy and the future of the youth.”
