Speaking on the next move the PDP candidate can take after his loss at the Supreme Court recently, Anifowoshe maintained that the former vice president has the right to contest at anytime.

She said:

“Alhaji Atiku’s right to contest for President of Nigeria in alienable. If indeed he feels that he has what it takes to govern Nigeria, he can either collaborate with the government in power as a statesman or get back to the strategy table and recontest in 4 years to get majority votes. It’s not the first time he got this close to winning an election so he can keep trying till he shatters the glass ceilings.”
