Advhe presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has approached the Supreme Court to nullify the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court which upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
Atiku, in the Notice of Appeal predicated on 35 grounds, insisted that the tribunal in the judgement delivered by Justice Haruna Tsammani on September 6 committed grave error and miscarriage of justice in its findings and conclusion in the petition challenging the declaration of Tinubu as president by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The Notice of Appeal filed by Atiku’s lead counsel, Chris Uche, SAN, is praying the apex court to set aside the whole findings and conclusions of the tribunal on the grounds that they did not represent the true picture of the grounds of his petition.
Atiku, a former Vice President, stated that the tribunal erred in law when it failed to nullify the February 25, 2023, presidential election on the grounds of non-compliance with the Electoral Act, 2022, “when by evidence before the tribunal, INEC conducted the election based on grave and gross misrepresentation contrary to the principles of the Electoral Act 2022, based on the doctrine of legitimate expectation.”
