The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is upbeat that he would reclaim his mandate from the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the tribunal.
The former Vice President while rekindling hopes said in a statement Sunday that his victory at the tribunal was sure.
In the statement signed by his Special Assistant on Youth and Support Groups Ambassador Aliyu Bin Abbas, Atiku assured millions of his supporters in the last elections, that there was nothing to be worried about because nothing would stop him from retrieving the mandate.
In the message entitled: A message of hope to the over 18 million Atikulated family members’ he assured that the barefaced evidences against the APC would be easily seen and the mandate returned to the PDP.
“Like never before in the history of the presidential election petition in Nigeria, the plethora, overwhelming, watertight and bare-faced evidences at the disposal of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP has put us on a track to glory.
“It is just the believe and confidence you had that made many of you to travel far and wide, even twice for some, risking everything to cast your votes for his Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar/Peter Obi.
“Some of you may have never voted before, but because you believed in #TheAtikuPlan and you wanted a new Nigeria to be birth by Wazirin Adamawa and Peter Obi, you chose to endure all the stress, including those of collecting PVC and joining the queue to cast your vote under the scorching sun.
“It is a public knowledge that some of you had to even paid money to collect your PVCs in some places like Lagos among others, a very sad and embarrassing situation,” he said.
Therefore, he said the efforts, doggedness and determination of his supporters to bring about a new Nigeria where businesses and investment will thrive, when Wazirin Adamawa reclaims his mandate at the tribunals.
Further, he appealed to his supporters not to despair, but remain calm and resolute and to hope for sure victory.
“Right now, our dream of a #BetterNigeria may seem to have been dashed by the cowardice behavior of the chairman of INEC, caving in to the desperation of the APC to cling to power at all costs.
“But I want to tell everyone of us that the good news is there’s light at the end of tunnel. The vision to Atikulate a new Nigeria is alive.
“Be optimistic as you have always been because the JOURNEY to reclaiming the stolen mandate to create #BetterJobs for the millions of unemployed youth of this country, provide #BetterLife and #GetNigeriaWorking Again will surely be fruitful because truth is on our.
“Whatever is the case, we insist and call on the judiciary, the last hope of the common man to remain resolute and dispense justice to the Nigerian people without fear or favor. Nigeria is bigger than anybody and will outlive all of us.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the Atikulated family, keep the faith.”
