Tinubu’s victory: Dismiss PDP, Atiku’s petition – APC urges Presidential
tribunal

---

APC urged the tribunal to reject the petition in its notice of preliminary
objection marked: CA/PEPC/A/05/2023, NAN reports.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday, prayed the Presidential
Election Petition Tribunal to dismiss the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s
petition challenging the election of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

It noted that the tribunal lacked the jurisdiction to adjudicate on PDP’s
petition against Tinubu’s election.

Stressing that the claims of non-compliance must be proven on a polling unit
basis, APC said PDP failed to provide the particulars of polling units where
electoral fraud was perpetrated.

“The petition as presently constituted is devoid of necessary particulars to
support allegations of corrupt practices, violence and non-compliance with
provisions of the Electoral Act.

“Paragraph 35 of the petition is not relevant or cognizable and 84 is vague
as no specific figure or polling units are pleaded as the margin of lead to be
countered by the respondent,” the APC said.

The party urged the tribunal to strike out or dismiss PDP’s petition for
lacking merit.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared Tinubu
the winner of the last presidential election after polling the highest number
of votes.

Aggrieved by the announcement, PDP headed to the election tribunal to
contest the election outcome.
