Atiku who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday said, “With regards to the judgment of the Supreme Court, which nullified the election of the candidate of the PDP, Emeka Ihedioha, as Governor of the state of Imo, I can only say that since the Supreme Court is final, we must accept its judgment,” Atiku tweeted.

“However unexpected and unpalatable it may be. The Rule of law must guide our paths even if logic sheds light on a different path.”

The PDP presidential candidate in the 2019 elections urged the party to continue to be the object of hope that the Nigerian people “have for their escape from the prevailing despotism and despair that has gripped almost every aspect of our national life.”

Atiku said Nigeria has gone through despotic times before, and we have survived them and thrived. I am very certain that this history will repeat itself.

My greatest desire, and one I hope to see again in my lifetime, is that Nigeria will fulfil its potential as the land of Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress. These four ideals have been missing from our borders for a while, and all freedom-loving Nigerians ought to henceforth work together to bring them back. So help us, God, he concluded.
