The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has vowed to challenge the outcome of the March 28 presidential election which has been won by General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The party's agent at the presidential election collation centre Bello Fadile, said shortly after the announcement of the result that the party was not satisfied with the outcome of the presidential election and would challenge it at the election tribunal.
This is coming against the backdrop of the refusal by the party’s agent to sign the final result sheet.
Fadile told journalists shortly after the result was declared that the party would challenge the outcome. “Whether I sign the result sheet or I don’t sign it, does not make any difference. It doesn’t invalidate the result. When we go to court, then we can challenge the result,” Fadile said.
"The result will be challenged at the presidential election petitions tribunal. Sure! The party petitioned, don’t forget. So the party will follow through the petition. There are rules for this. The law is there." Fadile clearly expressed
He further expressed that the PDP will follow due process. "We will follow the due process. Like the president (Jonathan) said, ‘If you have any grievances, follow due process and the due process in this instance is to go to the tribunal.”
