The legal Directorate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has stated that it is ready to defend President Muhammadu Buhari in court.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Buhari as the winner of the last Saturday’s presidential election.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had rejected the results of the election, vowing to contest it in court.
