The president-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has labeled his opponent, Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP a serial loser.
Tinubu had queried the legal competence of the petition the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, filed to nullify his election.
The President–elect, in a preliminary objection before the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, in Abuja, described the PDP candidate as a consistent serial loser that has always lost in his bid to lead the country since 1993.
Tinubu said:
“The 1st petitioner (Atiku) has been consistently contesting and losing successive presidential elections in Nigeria since 1993, whether at the party primary election level or at the general election; including 1993, when he lost the Social Democratic Party (SDP) primary election to the late Chief M.K.O Abiola; 2007, when he lost the presidential election to the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua;
2011, when he lost the Peoples Democratic Party presidential primary election to President Goodluck Jonathan; 2015, when he lost the APC primary election to President Muhammadu Buhari; 2019, when he lost the presidential election to President Muhammadu Buhari; and now, 2023, when he has again, lost the presidential election to the 2nd respondent (Tinubu).”
