PEPT: Expect A Lengthy Judgment, Tribunal Tells Nigerians

Nigerians have been warned by the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT)  to expect a lengthy decision in the petitions filed to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s election in the 2023 presidential election.

The tribunal made this known on Wednesday during the opening remarks before the court proceedings by Justice Haruna Tsammani, the leader of the five-judge panel at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

“Today, we have reached the zenith of these proceedings. The judgment is a bit lengthy, so we plead your patience.”

The case filed by Peter Obi and the Labour Party challenging Bola Tinubu’s triumph over other candidates by the All Progressives Congress (APC) would be the first item on the agenda, according to Justice Tsammani.
