JUST IN: Tribunal Consolidates Atiku And Obi’s Petitions

Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has merged all the petitions challenging the victory of Bola Tinubu at the February 25 Presidential election.

Gatekeepers News reports that the tribunal announced this on Tuesday after giving the pre-hearing report on three different petitions seeking to nullify the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.

Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress had opposed the issue of a merger but the other petitioners (Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; Peter Obi of Labour Party; and the Allied Peoples Movement, APM)   maintained a neutral stance.

The chairman of the five-man panel of the court, Justice Haruna Tsammani, read the pre-hearing report which included the declaration of the court’s decision to consolidate all the petitions to be heard as one.

Tsammani further announced that the hearing of the petition would commence on May 30, 2023.

He added that after the adoption of written addresses on August 5, 2023, the court shall thereafter prepare for judgement.

Meanwhile, the court proceedings is still in progress.

According to law, the tribunal has 180 days to determine the petitions and that expires on September 16, 2023.
