PDP prepares for court battle, summons legal team after rejecting poll results

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party may be getting it’s house ready for a legal battle over the results of the just concluded presidential and National Assembly polls.

24-hours after rejecting the results of the polls, alleging irregularities, the PDP has summoned its legal team for a Tuesday meeting.

Reports say the meeting summoned by the main opposition party which will begin by 4pm at the Legacy House, Abuja, is expected to discuss the next legal line of action.

The notice of the meeting was sent by Kabir Turaki, former Minister of Special Duties, who told invitees to “appear in person as there will be no representation please.”
