Presidential Election: Tribunal Begins Hearing On Atiku’s Petition Against Buhari Today

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, will on Wednesday, commence hearing on the petition the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, filed to challenge the outcome of the February 23 presidential election

In their joint petition, Atiku and his party insisted that data they secured from INEC’s server, revealed that they defeated President Buhari with over 1.6million votes.

The petitioners alleged that INEC had at various stages of the presidential election, unlawful allocated votes to President Buhari, saying they would adduce oral and documentary evidence to show that result of the election as announced by the electoral body, did not represent the lawful valid votes cast. 

#Atiku alleged that in some states, INEC, deducted lawful votes that accrued to him, in its bid to ensure that #Buhari was returned back to the office.
