Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect, has labeled Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, a serial loser.
Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, has questioned the legality of the case brought by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to annul his election.

Tinubu said:
“The 1st petitioner (Atiku) has been consistently contesting and losing successive presidential elections in Nigeria since 1993, whether at the party primary election level or at the general election; including 1993, when he lost the Social Democratic Party (SDP) primary election to the late Chief M.K.O Abiola; 2007, when he lost the presidential election to the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua;2011, when he lost the Peoples Democratic Party presidential primary election to President Goodluck Jonathan; 2015, when he lost the APC primary election to President Muhammadu Buhari; 2019, when he lost the presidential election to President Muhammadu Buhari; and now, 2023, when he has again, lost the presidential election to the 2nd respondent (Tinubu).”
