The Candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25, 2023, presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has said he will not abandon partisan politics in the wake of the Supreme Court verdict that dismissed his petition and affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking at a Press briefing in Abuja, the former Vice President promised to continue the struggle with other Nigerians to deepen Nigeria’s democracy.

Atiku stated that though the apex court’s judgment is final, it leaves much to be desired.

Speaking further, he proposed an amendment to the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act 2022 to accommodate a six-year single term for a president for each of the six geopolitical zones.

He added that the law must mandate electronic voting and collation of results and compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to verify credentials submitted by candidates vying for political offices, amongst others.
