Atiku said this while addressing journalists in Abuja on Thursday, October 5, 2023, at his World Press Conference in Abuja.
Atiku, who is challenging President Tinubu’s election at the Supreme Court said the judgment of the apex court would mark the end of the legal battle between him and President Tinubu.
"I will only drop the fight when the court rules. If the court rules that I am right, fine. If the court rules that he is right, that is the end of the fight because at the moment, we are at the Supreme Court," Atiku said.

Atiku also addressed the claim that he betrayed Tinubu, who, according to one of the President's spokespersons, Tope Ajayi, was given shelter when he was "stripped naked" by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Atiku said Tinubu had no ground to claim that he betrayed him because he stopped Obasanjo from taking over Lagos during Tinubu’s administration in the state.
He added that the relationship between him and Tinubu broke down because he rejected him as his running mate in 2007.
