Atiku, PDP file appeal against tribunal judgement at Supreme Court

Atiku Abubakar

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate in the 2019 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, have filed an appeal at the Supreme Court against the judgement of the presidential election petitions tribunal.

The tribunal had dismissed Atiku’s petition and upheld President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the polls.

Atiku and his party filed the appeal on 66 grounds on Monday.

They, among other things, alleged that the panel of the presidential election tribunal erred in law “when they relied on “overall interest of justice” to hold that the 2nd Respondent’s Exhibits R1 to R26, P85, and P86 were properly admitted in evidence.”

They are, therefore, asking the Supreme Court to set aside the judgement of the tribunal and grant the prayers sought by them.
