The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has employed a legal team consisting of 19 Senior Advocates of Nigeria to challenge the outcome of the February 25 election.

Recall that Tinubu was declared the winner of the election by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, on Wednesday, February 29.

The result was rejected by the PDP flagbearer and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.

On Wednesday, Atiku briefed the team at his campaign Headquarters in Abuja, asking them to “establish the claim of illegality in the election and reclaim the mandate of the Nigerian people.”
