The Presidential Election Petition Court has adjourned the continuation of the pre-hearing of the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, against the president-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress till Thursday, May 11.
The PDP and Atiku are challenging the declaration of Tinubu as the President-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Listed as 1st to 3rd respondents in the petition are INEC, Bola Tinubu, and the APC, respectively.
During today’s proceedings, counsel for the petitioners, Barrister Chris Uche, pointed out that they have filed and served a motion dated 7th May requesting a live broadcast of the presidential tribunal proceeding.
He noted that the application was a motion of priority which requires immediate attention given the national importance of the issue at hand.
Responding, counsel for INEC, A.B Mahmoud acknowledged the application which he described as “innocuous” and requested time to respond “being served yesterday.”
Consequently, Justice Tsammani asked parties to settle all issues for objections and determination responding that the application for a live broadcast of the proceeding “will be considered together with the other issues.”
He thereafter adjourned the pre-hearing of the petition against Tinubu to Thursday, May 11, 2023
