In a statement on Saturday by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku called on Nigerians to be vigilant, while putting the international community on alert.

He stated that the election that brought the current government into office is the worst in the annals of democratic politics in Nigeria, even though it was promised to be the best ever.

But in a series of tweets via his Twitter page on Saturday, Olusegun said Atiku and the PDP have not learnt from the double nomination case when the Supreme Court called them out for using social media trolls to hound judges.

He said after Tinubu defeated Atiku at the polls, the PDP claimed the elections were massively rigged, and had been unable to prove it at the tribunal.

Olusegun said the former Vice President and his party have only been able to discredit the judiciary and judges using cheap blackmail and threats.

He wrote: “It’s obvious Atiku and PDP have not learnt from the case when they used social media trolls to hound judges, lost and got called out by the Supreme Court back in May over the double nomination case.

“After PBAT thoroughly trashed them at the polls, They claimed the elections were massively rigged, asked to prove it at the Tribunal, they have not been able to offer any arbitrary assertions, zero rational arguments, no empirical validation, no statistical demonstrations only sad attempts to discredit the judiciary as an institution and shorn it of all dignity and integrity.

“Even before losers united had even filed their petitions before the PEPT, they tried to frame the CJN Justice Kayode Ariwoola, as partisan and travelling in disguise to hold a clandestine meeting with the then President-elect in London.

They failed. And they always will.”
