The Allied Peoples Movement concluded its case against the President, Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday after it called one witness to testify before the Presidential Election Petition Court.
The senior advocate sought to establish the frivolity of the petition challenging Tinubu’s victory.
After listening to all the lawyers in the suit, the chairman of the panel, Justice Haruna Tsammani, directed the respondents to file their final written addresses within 10 days from Wednesday. Before Wednesday’s proceeding, the case of the APM suffered a lull due to a recent Supreme Court judgement that ruled in a similar matter it filed before the PEPC.
He had referenced the Supreme Court’s decision of Friday, May 26, that dismissed the suit filed by the PDP, which prayed to the court to nullify the ticket that produced the president and his vice president on grounds of double nomination.
