National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has said that the party will file a petition on Tuesday to challenge the results of the presidential election at the tribunal.
Mr Secondus said this on Monday after its expanded caucus meeting held at the PDP national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja.
Secondus said the decision of the party to seek legal redress was largely informed by what he called “brazen rigging of the polls” by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He also alleged that officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were coerced into doing the bidding of the ruling party.
He said: “Nothing will make us waver in the pursuit of justice. The decision to go to court has been finalised and the process has begun. We will file our petition today (Monday) or tomorrow (Tuesday). No matter what anyone will do or what the APC will say, we will seek justice to the highest court of the land.
“What happened during this election has never happened in the history of this country. They are celebrating criminality, they are celebrating evil. Our leaders are not talking and if you don’t speak against evil, it will consume everybody. The National Peace Committee is not saying anything.”
