Atiku Presents 118 Exhibits In Case Against Tinubu
Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has tendered 118 exhibits before the presidential election petition court (PEPC) to prove his case against President Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu, the standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared the winner of the February 25 election after scoring 8,794,726 votes.
Aggrieved by the outcome, PDP and Atiku approached the tribunal challenging Tinubu’s victory on several grounds.
Among several issues raised, the petitioners alleged that Tinubu “was not duly elected by the majority of lawful votes cast at the election”.
Documents tendered in evidence before a five-member panel of the court included certified copies of the results of the presidential election from the 36 states of the federation and the federal capital territory (FCT).
The petitioners also tendered printouts of data they obtained from the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) and a record of the number of permanent voter cards (PVC) used for the election across the 36 states and FCT.
They were admitted in evidence.
All the respondents in the matter told the court that they would reserve their objections to any of the documents, till their final written address.
The petitioners did not call any witnesses.
