Breaking: Atiku to storm Presidential Election Petition Court today to witness proceedings
The Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party PDP in the last presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will storm the Presidential Election Petition Court this morning to witness proceedings in his petition challenging Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress APC as winners of the election.
The former Vice President would arrive at the Court at around 10 am to specifically witness submissions in his motion on notice seeking live coverage of the Court by the media.
Sources in the media camp of Atiku confided in our correspondent that their boss would physically and personally be at the Court of Appeal, where the tribunal is sitting.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party LP candidate, was at the Court on Monday and Wednesday, where he witnessed proceedings in his own petition.
Nigerian Newssphere was reliably informed that Atiku would be accompanied to the Court by the leaders of the PDP, followers, sympathisers and business associates.
Our correspondent noted, at the time of this report, that security has been beefed up to prevent security breaches, given the status of Atiku as a former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Although Atiku’s petition was initially slated for 2 pm for the pre-hearing session, it was gathered that it had been brought down to this morning.
