Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has inaugurated his legal team to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.

Atiku had secured 11,262,978 votes and lost to Buhari, who polled 15,191,847 votes on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A statement issued by Paul Ibe, his media aide, noted that the legal team would be headed by Dr. Livy Uzoukwu (SAN).
