Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has remained mum on Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s swearing in ceremony held at the Eagle Square, Abuja on Monday.
He, however, sent a congratulatory message to the Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri and his Deputy, Prof Kaletapwa Farauta for their successful swearing-in for a second term in office.
Recall that Atiku and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi had gone to court to seek redress over the 25 February presidential election, they claimed to be fraudulent.

Even though the Supreme court, last weekend affirmed the eligibility of President Tinubu, to contest the presidential election, Atiku had vowed that it would not deter him from seeking justice.
The apex court in its decision by a five-member panel, held that an appeal the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, filed to challenge the legality of Tinubu’s candidacy, lacked merit.
Congratulating Fintiri on Monday, Atiku said: “I join the good people of our dear Adamawa State in congratulating our beloved Governor Ahmadu Fintiri and his Deputy, Prof Kaletapwa Farauta, for their hard-won victory and successful swearing-in for a second term in office. I wish them even greater success at the saddle in their second tenure.”
