PDP vows to challenge general buhari's victory at The tribunal court


The Peoples Democratic Party has said it will
challenge the outcome of the March 28
presidential election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission,
through its Chairman and Chief Returning
Officer, Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Wednesday
morning, declared Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari(retd.) of the All Progressives Congress as
the winner of the election.
The PDP through its agent at the National
Collation Centre in Abuja on Wednesday, when
the final result was declared, had refused to
sign the result sheet despite its candidate,
President Goodluck Jonathan, having earlier
conceded defeat.
The agent of the PDP, Bello Fadile, who was in
attendance when parties were being called
upon to sign the result sheet, told journalists
shortly after the result was declared that the
party was not satisfied with the outcome of the
election and had decided to challenge it at the
election tribunal.
"Whether I sign it (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.
When asked to confirm if the PDP will challenge
the result at the presidential election petitions
tribunal, Fadile added, "Sure! The party
petitioned. Don't forget. So the party will follow
through the petition. There are rules for this.
The law is there.
"The result was declared on the 1st of April, I
think. 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."
