The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has rejected the ruling of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) upholding the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Atiku, who spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, said he would not accept the ruling.

He said, “the tribunal judgement is a Judgement I will fail to accept.”

Earlier, the acting chairman of the PDP, Umar Ililya Damagum said the party would be appealing the ruling to the Supreme Court, and he called on supporters to remain calm and law-abiding.

The tribunal, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, had ruled on Wednesday that the petition filed by Atiku, had no merit.

The tribunal also dismissed the petition filed by the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi.
