To contest the results of the presidential election held on February 25, Peoples Democratic Party candidate Atiku Abubakar has assembled a team of 19 Senior Advocates of Nigeria.

On Wednesday, Atiku updated them on his campaign’s progress at his headquarters in Abuja and urged them to “prove the allegation of illegality in the election and regain the mandate of the Nigerian people.”

JK Gadzama, an experienced litigator and business lawyer, leads the group.
