“Our legal team are primed to robustly prove that the election of February 25 was fraudulent, did not comply with the constitutional requirements and the electoral guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission, @inecnigeria, and that the announced winner was not even qualified to contest the poll.

“The battle for democracy and the enthronement of a new order to spur growth and development in Nigeria is one to which I have committed my all and for which I am not ready to walk away at this point when our nation is at crossroads.

“We know that sooner than later, our esteemed Justices will make the pronouncement that will serve as a befitting requiem for mandate bandits.”

The former vice president urged his supporters to be patient and maintain a peaceful demeanor while litigating before the Presidential Election Tribunal Court.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had upheld the eligibility of President-elect Bola Tinubu, dismissing an appeal by the PDP that claimed Tinubu's Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima had been illegally nominated for two positions.

The PDP argued Shettima's dual nomination violated election law and sought to nullify Tinubu and Shettima's candidacy and remove their names from the list of candidates. However, the court ruled unanimously that the PDP lacked the legal authority to intervene in the ruling All Progressives Congress' nomination affairs, reiterating earlier rulings by the Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court.
