Presidential poll: FG warns Atiku against resorting to self-help

The federal government has warned the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alh. Atiku Abubakar against resorting to self help over the outcome of the February 23rd presidential election.

APC asked Atiku to realise that the only lawful channel for challenging the result of an election is through the courts.

The government said it was absurd that Atiku had hired a lobbying firm to convince the United States not to recognise the re-election of president Buhari until the supreme court has ruled on the suit he filed.

The party said it was unfortunate that Atiku was thinking of replicating the Venezuelan political system in Nigeria.
