Atiku, Obi tackle Tinubu as hearing begins Tuesday
The Presidential Election Petition Court on Tuesday released the timetable for the hearing of petitions filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party and Allied Peoples Movement seeking to invalidate the victory of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, in the February 25 election. The court announced that the hearing of the petitions would commence on May 30.
The development followed the conclusion of the pre-hearing sessions in which the court allocated time for the litigants and also consolidated the three petitions which would be heard as one despite opposition by the All Progressives Congress and Tinubu.
On the subject of time to present their case, the panel directed Obi and the LP to do so within three weeks against their proposed seven weeks within which they planned to present 50 witnesses to prove their case against Tinubu. In addition, Justice Tsammani ordered Obi to open his petition for hearing on Tuesday, May 30, and end the same on June 23.
