The Presidential Election Tribunal in Abuja adjourned its sitting on Monday and will hear the petitions of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) on Tuesday.
The tribunal will continue with the pre-hearing proceedings on Wednesday for the petition of the Labour Party and Peter Obi and that of the Action Peoples Party (APP).
The tribunal is hearing petitions challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election, in which Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress was declared the winner.
The PDP’s Atiku Abubakar came second with 6,984,520 votes, while the LP’s Peter Obi was third with 6,101,533 votes.
Atiku and Obi are challenging Tinubu’s victory and seeking to have it annulled.
The tribunal, headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani, assured all parties involved that justice will be served.
Lawyers to the petitioners, journalists, Governor Simon Lalong of the APC, and Mr Obi of the LP were present at the pre-hearing.
The other panel members include Justice Stephen Adah, Justice Misitura Bolaji-Yusuf, Justice Boloukuoromo Moses Ugo, and Justice Abbah Mohammed.
