Atiku Heads To Presidential Election Tribunal Challenging Tinubu’s Victory

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has approached the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to contest the declaration of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as President-elect.

Reports say the Labour Party (LP) and its candidate, Mr Peter Obi, had similarly filed a petition at the tribunal in Abuja, challenging the Tinubu’s status as the winner of the February 25, 2023, presidential election.

The petition marked: CA/PEPC/03/2023, has INEC; Tinubu; his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, and the APC as the 1st to 4th respondents.

The petitioners are praying for the tribunal to declare that Tinubu was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.
