The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is present at the hearing of petitions and applications at the Presidential Election Petitions Court, (PEPC) sitting in Abuja.
The tribunal will be hearing Atiku and the PDP’s motions seeking live transmission of proceedings of the court as well as petitions challenging the outcome of the Feb. 25 Presidential Election.
Atiku and the PDP are specifically asking the court for an order directing the court’s registry and the parties on modalities for the admission of media practitioners and their equipment into the courtroom. The application filed on their behalf by their team of lawyers led by Chris Uche, SAN, is predicated on the grounds that the matter before the court is a dispute over the outcome of the Presidential Election held on Feb. 25.
They argue that the matter is of national concern and public interest and that involving citizens and voters in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, who voted and participated in the said election is important.
