Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has rejected the result of the election won by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Legit.ng reported that Atiku, who had kept mute since Monday, February 25, when the results showed that he was going to be the loser, described the election as a sham.

The former vice president said if he had lost in a free and fair election, he would have called the victor within seconds of being aware of his victory to offer not just his congratulations.

In a statement shared on Facebook, Atiku said the militarisation of the electoral process is a disservice to Nigeria's democracy and a throwback to the jackboot era of military dictatorship.
