tition Tribunal, on Thursday .
But shortly after the petitioners’ lawyer, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu , indicated to the tribunal that he was starting the petitioners’ case with Niger State, Buhari’s counsel, Mike Igbokwe , rose to call for a halt of the proceedings.He complained that he was only served with the petitioners’ schedule of documents shortly before the commencement of sitting.
Counsel for the Independent National Electoral Commission, Yunus Usman , and the All Progressives Congress’ Yakubu Maikyau , also expressed the same misgivings.
