Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , has asked the supreme court to grant his application seeking to tender fresh evidence against President Bola Tinubu.
The former vice-president and his party are challenging Tinubu’s victory at the presidential poll and the verdict of the election tribunal upholding the outcome of the February 25 election.Advertisement “The supreme court, as the apex court and indeed the policy court, has intervened time and again to do substantial justice in such matters of great constitutional importance, as it did in the case of AMAECHI vs. INEC 5 NWLR 227 and OBI vs. INEC 11 NWLR 565,” he said.
“The need to rebuff, eschew and reject technicality and the duty of court to ensure substantial justice is very germane in this matter, given the gravity of the constitutional issue involved in deciding whether a candidate for the highest office in the land, the office of president of the country, presented a forged certificate or not.
