Atiku wins as court upholds consolidation of petitions against Tinubu’s election

-

 


The Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC has upheld the position of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Atiku Abubakar on the consolidation of the three petitions challenging the qualifications and declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election.

The Court in the pre-hearing session report presented on Tuesday by Justice Stephen Jonah Ada announced the consolidation of the three petitions instituted by Atiku, Peter Obi of the Labour Party LP and the Allied People’s Movement APM.

The Court agreed with Atiku’s lawyers that given the time-bound nature of the petitions, especially for expeditious hearing purposes, it was proper and appropriate to merge them in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.

Justice Ada while announcing the consolidation said the Court took the decision because the three petitions are related to the same election and same declaration of results.

Tinubu had vehemently opposed the consolidation move on the ground that the interest of justice would not be met.

But Atiku and PDP who saw the objection to consolidation as a ploy to delay quick disposal of the three petitions, had prayed the Court to adopt the move to be able to do substantial justice to their respective grievances against Tinubu’s election.

Meanwhile, the Court has given Atiku and PDP three weeks within which to argue their complaints against the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC on the alleged irregularities in the conduct of the presidential election.

They are also to, within the period present their objections against the qualifications of Tinubu for the election and his subsequent return as winner of the 2023 presidential poll.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Court, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani has fixed May 30 for a full blown hearing of the three petitions.

The tension in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house reached new heights on Sunday night as two housemates, Daniel Olatunji , popularly known as Danboskid , and Ibifubara Davies , became the first to be evicted from the “Ten Over Ten” season. During the live eviction show, hosted with all the glitz and suspense that BBNaija fans have come to expect, Danboskid was the first to be shown the door after polling the lowest percentage of votes from viewers. He managed only about 0.65% of the total votes. Moments later, Ibifubara followed, having secured roughly 0.325% , sealing her fate as the second housemate to leave. The double eviction shocked some fans but also served as a reminder of the intense competition inside the house. Both evictees had brought their own unique personalities to the game—Danboskid, with his lively energy and humor, and Ibifubara, known for her calm yet strategic approach. Unfortunately, their fan base wasn’t strong enough to keep them in the running for the cov...
