The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in February 23 presidential election, Alhaji  Atiku Abubakar has inaugurated a legal team to challenge the declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the election.

At the head of the team which was inaugurated on Saturday was a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu (SAN).

While inaugurating the team, Atiku, according to a statement by his media team, charged the legal team with the responsibility of ensuring that his stolen mandate is retrieved.

“I am encouraged by the presence of fearless men and women of the Bench. The judiciary which had in the past discharged itself ably is once again being called upon to deliver judgment on this matter that will be untainted by lucre and uncowed by the threat of immoral power.”

Atiku Abubakar assured Nigerians that sooner than later, these noble dispensers of justice will give a judgment that will represent what he described as a “historic denunciation of electoral fraud and mandate bandit.”
