The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) says the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is deluded by expressing its confidence in securing a favourable judgement against the APC in the 2023 presidential election litigation presently before the Supreme Court.
In a press statement issued by the APC National Publicity Secretary. Felix Morka, on Monday, the party asked the PDP to instead be prepared for “spectacular defeat”, as he declared that the party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, do not have credible grounds to upturn the victory of President Bola Tinubu at the polls.
According to Morka: “Deep in hallucination, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed confidence that its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, would prevail in his appeal at the Supreme Court. This vain confidence was expressed in its statement of October 22, 2023.
“Court cases are won on the strength of cogent, credible, compelling or substantial evidence, not on hollow, implausible, capricious tales and fabrications of the kind that Atiku Abubakar dumped on the court in the guise of a “body of evidence”, evidencing nothing.
“The PDP must also be thoroughly deluded to imagine that it can get through the court what it deservedly failed to get through the polls. Its claim that the election was “manipulated” against its candidate is both ridiculous and insulting to millions of Nigerians who voted massively for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential Candidate, now President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The PDP and its candidate’s desperate resort to blackmail, disinformation, misinformation and malicious falsehoods against the President and our great Party is intended to prospectively downplay what promises to be a spectacular and ignominious defeat that awaits the PDP and its nemesis of a presidential candidate.”
