The Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday, indicated that they will on Thursday close their case before the Presidential Election Petitions Court in Abuja, where they are challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election in which President Bola Tinubu was declared winner.
The petitioners, according to a pre-hearing schedule drafted by the court, were given three weeks to prove their case, which elapsed on Tuesday.
One of the lost days was June 12, which was declared a public holiday in celebration of Democracy Day. Addressing newsmen after the Tuesday session, Uche said, “We are closing our case on Thursday. It was supposed to end today but because we lost two days, one of which was the June 12 public holiday, the court graciously extended our time by two days.”
