Atiku Heads To Presidential Tribunal To Challenge Tinubu’s Victory

Atiku has headed to the presidential tribunal to challenge Tinubu’s victory.

 

Glamtush reports that Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate has filed a petition with the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to challenge the declaration of Bola Tinubu, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the election.

This online newspaper understands that a prominent member of the Atiku legal team named Silas Joseph Onu confirmed the submission on Tuesday night.

This comes shortly after the Labour Party (LP) and Mr. Peter Obi, the LP’s presidential candidate, filed a similar lawsuit at the Abuja electoral petitions tribunal contesting Tinubu’s designation as the victor of the February 25, presidential election.

The petition marked: CA/PEPC/03/2023, has INEC; Tinubu; his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, and the APC as the 1st to 4th respondents.

See a copy of Atiku’s petition below:

The petitioners are praying for the tribunal to declare that Tinubu was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election. They want an order mandating INEC to retrieve the certificate of return issued to the APC candidate and issue a fresh one to Obi.
