A statement on Wednesday by Atiku’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, explained that the former Vice President withdrew the request following INEC's compliance with the court orders.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar, Wednesday, withdrew an application in which he asked the Court of Appeal to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to grant him access to electoral materials that were used in the conduct of the 25 February elections.
A statement on Wednesday by Atiku’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, explained that the former Vice President withdrew the request following INEC’s compliance with the court orders. Mr Gadzama, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria , had lamented that “it is disturbing that despite service of the Court Order on the commission since 3 March 2023, the commission is yet to allow our clients and their representatives to access, inspect and/or obtain the needed electoral materials as ordered by the court despite repeated visits to the commission and follow-up in respect thereof.”
It has become pertinent to make some clarifications following insinuations and mischievous reporting of the withdrawal of the application for the Independent National Electoral Commission to grant access to the legal team of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar and the PDP on the inspection of the documents related to the February 25 presidential election.
