Presidential Tribunal Sets to Hear Peter Obi, Atiku’s Case Against Tinubu (video)

The journey to the determination of the fate of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and the flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, commences today.

It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Tinubu the winner, with 8,794,726 votes.

While the former Vice-President, Atiku was declared second after polling 6,984,520 votes, Obi emerged third in the election on the 25th of February, 2023 with 6,101,533 votes.

Atiku and Obi, however, challenged the declaration of the electoral body and asked the tribunal to declare them winner of the presidential election.

The PDP presidential candidate Atiku, on Sunday asked the Presidential tribunal to broadcast live the proceedings of the case filed against Tinubu’s victory.

As of 8 o’clock this morning, security agencies have barricaded the road from the Force Headquarters to the tribunal venue.

Lawyers are already making their way into the court. Chris Uche is the head of Atiku’s legal team while Wole Olanipekun is the lead of Tinubu and Levi Uzoukwu is the head of Obi’s team. The trio are all Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs).

Judges presiding over the tribunal are now seated.
