Further pre-hearing session in the petition of former Vice
President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar against the election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has
been shifted to May 18, 2023.
Just like that of Peter Obi and the Labour Party, Atiku’s
petition was adjourned at the instance of lawyers in the matter to enable them
to put their house in order on various issues relating to the petition.
His lead counsel, Chief Chris Uche SAN, informed the court
that all the lawyers jointly agreed to next Thursday’s return date to allow
their teams to sort out documents to be tendered during the hearing of the petition.
Following no objection from Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN, who
stood for Tinubu, Charles Edosomwen SAN, who represented the All Progressives
Congress, APC, and Abubakar Mahmoud, who stood for the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani shifted the matter to
May 18.
Details later.
