The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Nigeria’s general election Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the dismissal of his appeals by the country’s highest court on Wednesday for lacking “merits”.

It is said that the Supreme Court is not final because it is infallible, but that it is infallible because it is final.

“It is said that the Supreme Court is not final because it is infallible, but that it is infallible because it is final,” Atiku Abubakar wrote on Twitter, hours after the Supreme Court sealed his fate.

While I believe that only God is infallible everywhere, and only Nigerians are infallible in our democracy, I must accept that the judicial route I chose to take, as a democrat, has come to a conclusion.

Whether justice was done, is left to the Nigerian people to decide. As a democrat, I fought a good fight for the Nigerian people. I will keep on fighting for Nigeria and for democracy, and also for justice.

I thank all Nigerians who have stayed the course since the commencement of trial in the petition on the February 23 presidential election.

The judgement is part of democratic challenges we must face as a nation.
