The PDP presidential aspirant, while inaugurating the legal team at his campaign headquarters in Abuja, charged members to establish the claim of illegality in the February 25th presidential election and reclaim the mandate of the Nigerian people.
Atiku told the team that apart from reclaiming the mandate from those who executed the electoral snatching that wasn’t a reflection of the will of Nigerians, the legal team should also use the occasion of the trial to strengthen constitutional democracy in the country.
Addressing the team headed by Chief Gadzama, SAN, at the conference room of his office at the campaign headquarters, Atiku said it was necessary that they worked diligently in reclaiming the mandate, not unavoidably because of him and the PDP, but to strengthen democracy and the electoral process and for generations future.
