The Supreme Court, jas on Monday, reserved judgment on the application of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, seeking to present fresh documents to support his appeal.
The fresh documents he is seeking to present before the apex court are President Tinubu Bola’s academic records obtained from the Chicago State University.
This was just as the NPO Reported that a 7-member panel of the Court was to hear the appeals by Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi challenging the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court which affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s election.
Members of the panel will hear the appeals by Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, the Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) challenging the election of Mr Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja headed by Haruna Tsammani had ruled that Atiku and Mr Obi failed to substantiate their separate claims of widespread electoral malpractices during the conduct of the 25 February presidential election by Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC.
The court also dismissed another petition filed by the APM on the ground that the suit was lacking in merit.
Atiku, Mr Obi and the APM all filed separate appeals to challenge the decision of the court.
