Proceedings ended unexpectedly on Wednesday before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) owing to the request by lawyer to Atiku Abubakar and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chris Uche (SAN) for an adjournment to enable his clients react to the responses filed against a fresh motion by Atiku and the PDP.

Atiku and his party are challenging the outcome of the last presidential election before the tribunal. Although they came second behind President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), they claimed to have won based on some results they gleaned from a central server purportedly utilized by the electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to transmit the result of the election.

At the resumption of proceedings on Wednesday, the petitioners were expected to exhibit zeal in the pursuit of their petition, but their lawyer took all by surprise when he prayed the tribunal for an adjournment to enable them file replies-on-point-of-law to the respondents’ replies to the petitioners’ fresh motion seeking to quash the proceedings conducted on June 11, 2019 by the tribunal.

Ruling, PEPT’s Chairman, Justice Mohammed Garba said the tribunal would prefer to conclude the hearing of all pending applications/motions before delving into other businesses in relation to the petition.

Justice Garba adjourned till July 1, 2019 for the hearing of the fresh motion by the petitioners and the consideration of any other pre-hearing issues.

In the fresh motion filed on June 18, 2019 Atku and the PDP are praying the tribunal to set aside its proceedings of June 11, 2019 during which it accepted as undefended, an application filed by the APC, in which the party sought the striking out of the petition on the grounds that it was defective.

In a ruling on June 11, 2019 the tribunal held the petitioners failed to file the required counter-affidavit against the application by the APC and recorded the application as unchallenged.

It is that ruling that Atiku and the PDP, by their fresh motion, want the tribunal to set aside, a request the respondents have also opposed with their various counter applications, some of which Uhce said were served on him late, and in respect of which he sought an adjournment to enable his team reply.

In the application accepted by the tribunal as undefended, the APC wants the tribunal to dismiss the petition by Atiku and the PDP, or alternatively, strike out several paragraphs that were not supported by facts and laws.

Atiku never gave any shiit about anyone but himself

People tend to forget he was in power as a most influential VP for 8 years and what did he do with that power?

Fight OBJ and enrich himself.

His billions are only for him to actualize his wishful thinking of ruling naija.

I think Atiku will wins this court case soon. very soon, it won't exceed 2023 before he will win. �

Read the post again or tell someone to interpret for you.apc filed a motion seeking for the suit to be dismissed and your looting party failed to reply which means that he is open and defenceless and the court can easily strike out the petition.tuniski,johnnyessence time is going
