Presidential poll: Sack Buhari, declare me winner, Atiku tells tribunal vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
ABUJA—
At press time, Atiku’s team of lawyers led by Mr. Chukwuma Ume, SAN, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, and Mr. Emeka Etiaba, SAN, were perfecting the filing process at the Central Registry of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT, Abuja.Though Atiku had yet to arrive at the tribunal where he is expected to personally depose to an affidavit, however, some chieftains of PDP, including its spokesman, Mr. Kola Ologbodiyan, and Alhaji Buba Galadima, accompanied the lawyers to the tribunal.
“Nigerians are at home with what happened on February 23, the sham they called election. We are going to re-present those facts to Nigerians, we are not going to manufacture facts.”Similarly, a member of the legal team, Chief Ozekhome, SAN, told journalists that the petitioners encountered serious challenges in the hands of INEC, which he noted was reluctant to grant them access to the electoral materials.
The tribunal however, declined to allow Atiku and PDP to conduct forensic analysis on any of the electoral materials on the premise that such request was outside the scope of the Electoral Act, as amended.
