The Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, have opened trial at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja in respect of their petition challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari, at the February 23, 2019 poll.

The petitioners’ legal team led by Dr. Livy Uzoukwu (SAN), on Thursday, opened the trial by tendering electoral document, Form EC8C for Agaie Local Government Area of Niger State.
The tendering was opposed by the respondents’ lawyers, but as earlier agreed among the parties, the lawyers said they would give the reasons for their objection to the document at the final address stage.

The trial finally opened after the five-man tribunal’s dismissal of the respondents’ earlier request for the suspension of the trial on Thursday.

The respondents comprising the Independent National Electoral Commission, Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress, had earlier called for the suspension of the proceedings on the grounds of alleged late filing and serving of the petitioners’ schedule of documents on them shortly before sitting began on Thursday.

But ruling, the five-man bench led by Justice Mohammed Garba, dismissed the respondents’ request, saying that the agreements reached between the parties at the pre-hearing session concluded earlier on Wednesday, had stipulated that trial would commence on Thursday.

Justice Garba, who delivered the ruling of the tribunal added that the agreement reached which was adopted at the tribunal’s directive on Wednesday did also not make the service of the schedule of documents a condition-precedent for the commencement of trial.

He added that the respondents could also not validly claimed to have been ambushed by the alleged late filing of the schedule since the documents listed in it had been referenced in the petition filed and served on the respondents months ago.

The tribunal has admitted the Form EC8C for Agaie Local Government Area of Niger State tendered by the petitioners as Exhibit P1.

As of the time of filing this report, the petitioners’ lead counsel has asked to tender Forms EC8A and EC8B‎ (series of polling unit and ward results) in respect of the said local government area.

Make Atiku forget this case him no fit win

It amazes me where atiku gets his hope from. BUBU the walking dead replaced the CJN with his brother and u expect him to lose and accept defeat. Even my 8yrs old brother that is not politically inclined knows how the case will end. He should just befriend buhari and save the remaining money he stole from our coffers for next election cause its not in an african mans gene to hand over power easily

BUHARI IS ATAN HIMSELF

Lawyers are big boys during and months after election...

mtwee

Let the game begin...

Good

Atiku is coming to Nigeria from Dubai

We all know the presidential election was ridged, but come on we are in naija no matter what Atiku and crew do, u cant unsit the president why? Because na person way day up the see pass....# if u no u no

What can I say?

I can't win the case from my phone



Well I can show you original human hair... check my signature

Buhari is jittery

I wish this was a different country i would have been confident of Atiku's victory

I like this.
Atiku may not win the case but it's good to throw impunity back to the face of the actors especially in the full glare of the world.
The judges will still do the obvious as usual only that this time, it will be so hard to clean the dog's mouth after eating the usual sh1t because of too many lapses.

OK. Let the firework start!

Victory is sure for Atiku and PDP

Atiku is only trying to make himself relevant till 2023 when he hopes to contest the PDP ticket again.

ATIKU is coming soon either devil like it or not
