Tribunal adjourns Atiku, PDP petition till July
The presidential election petition tribunal has adjourned till July, 1 to entertain a motion brought by the Peoples Democratic Party challenging the June 11 proceedings of the tribunal.
According to the APC’s initial application brought by its counsel, Lateef Fagbemi, the PDP’s application was not properly signed because the name of the lead counsel, Levi Uzuegwu, was not clearly written as the signatory to the petition. Following that observation, the APC requested the tribunal to withdraw the application responded to, by the PDP.
After much persuasion by the APC through its counsel, Lateef Fagbemi, the Court withdrew the APC’s application already responded to, by the PDP. In a reaction, the PDP reiterated its argument that the court ought to have heard the earlier application, which it had responded to. Mr Fagbemi submitted that the PDP should be held responsible for failing to file their response to the second application within the stipulated time.
