Buhari, Atiku Camps Upbeat as Tribunal Delivers Judgment Today via thisdaylive
Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari and the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in the last presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, were yesterday upbeat with the news that the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal would deliver its judgment in the petition filed by Atiku and the PDP against the victory of Buhari and the All Progressives Party today in Abuja.
However, the APC was more restrained in its expectations, saying today’s judgment would decide the fate of the petitioners and the appellants. The five-man panel headed by Justice Mohammed Garba on August 21 reserved judgment in the petition after all lawyers in the matter adopted and argued their final written addresses.
A short message released yesterday by the Information Officer of the Court of Appeal, Hajia Sa’adatu Kachalla, read: “Presidential Election Petition Tribunal: Please be informed: notice has been given for judgment to be delivered tomorrow September 11, 2019 by 9a.m.” Uche said outside the petitioners and their supporters, all Nigerians are also looking forward to what he described as justice.Following the declaration of Buhari as winner of the February 23, presidential election by INEC on February 27, Atiku and his party approached the court to challenge the president’s victory.According to them, INEC connived with Buhari, APC and agents of the federal government, including the military, to rig the election in favour of the president.
