Atiku and PDP reject verdict of tribunal, head to Supreme Court - Edoman - 09-11-2019 Atiku and PDP reject verdict of tribunal, head to Supreme Court Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the People's Democratic Party have rejected the judgement of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Muhammadu Buhari as the President of Nigeria in the February 23, 2019 poll. The Presidential tribunal on Wednesday September 11, dismissed the petition of Atiku Abubakar and the PDP, saying they did not prove them beyond a reasonable doubt. Reacting to the court judgement, Mike Ozekhome who is one of the lawyers representing the petitioners, said they would “challenge the ‘misevaluation’ of critical evidence in the judgement.” Quote:“That we’re appealing to the Supreme Court is as certain as death,” the Senior Advocate of Nigeria said. The PDP on the other hand, released a statement in which they described the court judgement as provocative, a subversion of justice and a direct assault on the integrity of the nation’s justice system. The party expressed shock that the tribunal failed to point to justice despite the “flawless evidence laid before it, showing that President Buhari was not only unqualified to contest the election but also did not score the majority of valid votes” at the polls. Quote:“The PDP finds as bewildering that a court of law could validate a clear case of perjury and declaration of false information in a sworn affidavit, as firmly established against President Muhammadu Buhari, even in the face of incontrovertible evidence. by Linda Ikej |
