The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Candidate in the February 25th, 2023, Presidential Election, Atiku Abubakar, will address a Press Conference by 2:30pm in Abuja, Thursday, September 7, 2023.

The Press Conference follows the ruling of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, PEPT, headed by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani which upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The Tribunal, on Wednesday, ruled that the petition filed by Atiku and Labour Party, LP, Presidential Candidate Peter Obi and their parties had no merit and unanimously upheld Tinubu’s electoral victory in the presidential election.

Atiku and Obi have rejected the judgment and vowed to challenge it at the Supreme Court.

“This is to invite you to a press briefing to be addressed by the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagun and PDP Presidential Candidate, H.E. Atiku Abubakar, GCON.”
