Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential contender in the February 2023 election, has stated that history will vindicate him.

He announced this in a press conference on Monday, following the Supreme Court’s decision to confirm Bola Tinubu as the legitimately elected President.

It was earlier reported that the apex court dismissed the appeals by Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.

But Atiku said, “At a critical point in my political life, I always chose the path of truth, morality, and rule of law. History will vindicate me.

“When I joined politics, the critical challenge was kicking the military out of power so that civilian governance could be restored in Nigeria.

“It later became a defining struggle and as one of the leaders of that struggle, I was targeted for elimination. Nine policemen guarding my house in Kaduna were murdered in an attempt to assassinate me. I was also forced into exile for nine months because of that incident.”

Speaking further on why he filed a lawsuit against Tinubu on his academic credentials, the former Vice President said, “It is not about me, it is about our country, Nigeria and the future. It is about the kind of society we want to leave for the next generation and what kind of example we want to set for our children. It is about the reputation of Nigeria and Nigerians in the eyes of the world.

“We showed evidence that Tinubu was not qualified to contest the presidential election because he forged the qualifying academic certificate.”
