Some details of the petition filed on Monday by the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate in the February 23 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to challenge the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress, emerged on Tuesday.

The 141-page petition contained five grounds, one of which resuscitates the allegation that Buhari was not qualified to run for the office of the President on the grounds that he did not possess the constitutional minimum qualification of a school certificate.

The petition, sighted by The PUNCH, was filed against the Independent National Electoral Commission, Buhari and the APC as the first to the third respondents respectively.

Names of 21 Senior Advocates of Nigeria and 18 other lawyers appeared on the petition.

They were led by Mr. Livy Uzoukwu (SAN).

The five grounds of appeal, read, “The 2nd respondent (Buhari) was not duly elected by majority of lawful votes cast at the election.

“The election of the 2nd respondent is invalid by reason of corrupt practices.

“The election of the 2nd Respondent is invalid by reason of non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended).


“The 2nd respondent was at the time of the election not qualified to contest the said election.

“The 2nd respondent submitted to the 1st Respondent an affidavit containing false information of a fundamental nature in aid of his qualification for the said election.”

At least he has a certificate of return.. Abi that one no do?

Truth is,

this man lacks the dynamism &
requisite knowledge to run a country like
Nigeria in this time and age.

Every year, this man takes us two
years back.

If God chooses to let this man complete
another 4 years, then developmentally, this
country would be back to 2007.

This is the only leader in the history of
this country who doubled fuel price without
making arrangements for any palliative to cushion
the shock...

The only leader who didn't see it fit to
increase workers pay during a full 4 year tenor.

In fact the country has been you lenient to
his incompetence.

Already, he is contemplating increasing VAT,
this will most definitely trigger another
inflation.

Crass incompetence is the reason some of us didn't
Vote for him, he has nothing to offer.

You don't run a govt by only a sham show
if "fighting corruption".

Be prepared for 220fuel & rice at 29,000 a bag.

A stubborn man, bereft of any ideas.

good

dead on arrival

Atiku against the aso rock cabals.




Wish him success!!!

The totality of the 2019 elections were fraught with all manners of illegality.
-From the pre-election hitches/technicalities.
-Failure of the president to sign a better amended 2019 electoral act into law that could have avoided all the electoral malpractice that characterized the sham elections.Imagine a president saying;

“I am declining assent to the Bill principally because I am concerned that passing a new electoral bill this far into the electoral process for the 2019 general election which commenced under the 2015 Electoral Act, could create some uncertainty about the applicable legislation to govern the process.

I hope Atiku remembers that he was not even qualified to contest in the first place because he is not a Nigerian by birth but by secession from British Cameroun. That matter is still in court. One condition to contest Nigerian presidency is to be a Nigerian by birth. His original birth certificate is British Cameroun
