Atiku presented his points which ranged from statistical impossibilities, intensional suppression of votes, voting disruptions with no intervention by the authorities and military brutality against electorates.
In some areas of the country, such as, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Imo states, troops deployed for the elections turned their guns on the very citizens they were meant to protect.

Consequently, he stated his rejection of the result and promised to challenge it in the court of law.
“I hereby reject the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election and will be challenging it in court.”
