Atiku Files 35 Grounds of Appeal Against Tinubu at Supreme Court

In a determined effort to challenge the election of President Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has lodged a staggering 35 grounds of appeal before the Supreme Court.

Atiku, through his legal team led by Chief Chris Uche, SAN, is fervently praying the Apex court to set aside the judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal on September 6. The Court of Appeal had affirmed Tinubu, of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as the valid winner of the presidential election held on February 25.

Atiku’s plea to the apex court is grounded in the belief that the verdict of the Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member panel of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), which dismissed his petition against the outcome of the presidential contest, was not only perverse but also caused a grave miscarriage of justice against him.

The former Vice President maintains that the PEPC panel erred in law when it failed to nullify the presidential election based on grounds of non-compliance with the Electoral Act of 2022.

Atiku asserts that evidence presented during the proceedings clearly demonstrated that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) acted in breach of extant laws and regulations guiding the conduct of elections.

The legal battle that unfolds promises to be a defining moment in Nigerian politics, as Atiku Abubakar’s relentless pursuit to nullify the election results sets the stage for a thorough examination of electoral processes and legal interpretations.
