Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday, appeared in court for the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting in Abuja to observe proceedings in the case he filed to challenge the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Recall that the PDP Candidate and his party are challenging the declaration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner of the presidential election.
Pre-hearing session of the petition was scheduled to continue before Justice Haruna Tsammani-led’s five-member panel.
Atiku, who had since filed an application for live coverage of day-to-day proceedings on his petition, arrived at the courtroom around 8:35 am, accompanied by his friends and well wishes, among whom included the governorship candidate of the PDP for the forthcoming governorship in Kogi State, Senator Dino Melaye.
Atiku is seeking the withdrawal of the Certificate of Return issued to Tinubu by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
