The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate in the just concluded 2023 general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has stormed the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to observe the proceedings in the petition challenging the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winners of the election.
At about 8:30 am, the former Vice President arrived at the court to witness the submission of his motion on notice seeking the media’s live coverage of the court.
Recall that, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, Peter Obi was at the Court to witness the proceedings in his own petition on Monday and Wednesday.
New Telegraph reports that Atiku was escorted to the court by the leaders of the PDP, followers, sympathisers and business associates.
It was also reported that the security had been beefed up to prevent security breaches in view of the status of Atiku as a former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Although Atiku’s petition was initially slated for 2 pm for the pre-hearing session, it was gathered that it was brought down to this morning.
