ATIKU ABUBAKAR EXPRESSES APPRECIATION TO NIGERIANS AFTER LOSS AT TRIBUNAL

“I write to personally thank you for your support for our shared common goal and the solidarity I enjoyed from all walks of life and every strata of society, right from July 21, 2018, when I informed you, the good people of Nigeria, that I would contest the 2019 Presidential election, to Wednesday, September 11, 2019, when the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal rendered its verdict’.

“Nothing good comes easy, and hard as the task to rid Nigeria from the forces of fascism, and be an instrument for the full restoration of the rule of law and democracy in Nigeria is, your support makes the struggle worthwhile’.

“I owe so much to this great land of Nigeria that took me from the streets of Jada, where I sold firewood, to the heights I have attained, by God’s benevolence, in the civil service, in corporate Nigeria, and in public service.”

”If he does not play his part in making it possible for other orphaned children, indigent youth and the less privileged, to replicate and even surpass his path to significance, he would have failed his Maker”, Abubakar said

“If I do not ensure that the ladder I climbed remains accessible to those at the bottom, middle and top tiers of society, I would not have fulfilled my purpose. And only by ensuring that democracy is not just done, but seen to be done, can Nigeria and Nigerians have a sense that this dear land is indeed a land where Unity, Faith, Peace and Progress reside.”

Penpushing recalled that, the five-member Tribunal led by Justice Garba Mohammed in its judgement dismissed the petition filed by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and  Abubakar, its Presidential candidate.

The judgment declared that, the petitioners failed to prove their petition beyond reasonable doubt and the petition was dismissed in its entirety
