Lauretta Onochie , social media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari has mocked candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar after the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal today struck out his case challenging Buhari’s eligibility to contest the 2019 presidential election.
Atiku had challenged Buhari victory in the February 23 poll on the grounds that the president lacked the requisite academic qualification to have stood for the election.
But in a Wednesday judgment, the tribunal held that as against the argument by Atiku and the PDP, President Buhari was eminently qualified to contest the last election.
Reacting, Mrs Onochie in a tweet just after the ruling was announced, expressed joy at watching Atiku fail at the Tribunal
“We warned them but they won’t listen. Now it’s a joy, watching their case falling apart like a pack of cards! #SaiBabaBuhari!” She tweeted
