In the response filed by his lead counsel, Chris Uche, SAN, Atiku said that his identity, comprising age, state of origin, and educational qualifications had never been in dispute.

He insisted that Mr. Tinubu was constitutionally disabled from contesting for the office of president.

The PDP presidential candidate, amongst other things, alleged that Tinubu was unfit to lead Nigeria having been indicted for drug-related offenses in the United States and made to forfeit a sum of 460,000 dollars as a compromise agreement.NYSC Portal

PREMIUM TIMES reported that Atiku said in the same document that the president-elect was burdened by identity and drugs scandals.

According to him, Mr. Tinubu holds dual citizenship of Nigeria and Guinea, having voluntarily acquired the citizenship of the Republic of Guinea.

Reacting to Mr. Tinubu’s response in which he described Atiku as a serial election loser, the former Vice President said that Tinubu was a giant in forfeiture, drug-related offences, and failure to disclose dual nationality to INEC.

“The comparison of the second respondent (Tinubu) with the first petitioner ( Atiku) who had attained the eminent position of Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for eight years is totally unfounded,” he said.

Atiku said that he was challenging the declaration of Tinubu as president-elect on the grounds that Tinubu and APC did not win majority of the lawful votes cast in the Feb. 25 presidential election.

He said that Mr Tinubu failed part of the constitutional requirements having failed to secure 25 percent of the votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, as constitutionally required.JAMB Result
