“There is low voter turnout and I believe it’s because of the last election which was marred by a lot of irregularities,” he said.
Atiku said the involvement of the military in the election is unconstitutional, urging the electorate to be law-abiding.
Speaking on his loss, Atiku said he was committed to challenging the result of the election in court.
He called on his supporters to remain calm and await the outcome of the legal action.
