In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold President Bola Tinubu’s election victory, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential contender of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 2023 election, has expressed his unwavering resolve that history will eventually exonerate him.
Atiku voiced his sentiments on Monday, as he criticized the Supreme Court’s ruling. The seven-member panel, led by Justice Inyang Okoro, had dismissed the appeals filed by Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.

In Atiku’s words, “At a critical point in my political life, I always chose the path of truth, morality, and rule of law. History will vindicate me.”
He reflected on the pivotal role he played in the struggle to transition Nigeria from military to civilian rule, a mission that often placed him in the crosshairs of adversaries.
Atiku recounted a harrowing episode where nine policemen guarding his residence in Kaduna were tragically slain in an attempt to assassinate him. This dire circumstance ultimately forced him into a nine-month exile.
