The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for Monday, October 23, in the appeal by Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi who were candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party which dismissed their petitions for being unmeritorious, lacking a merit and, on the grounds that the petitioners failed to prove their cases.
In their appeal, the PDP and Atiku are contending, among others, that the judgment of the PEPC is against the weight of evidence. They also faulted the PEPC for holding that the INEC Result Viewing portal was not a collation system. They also faulted the PEPC for holding that the paragraphs of their reply to the 2nd and 3rd respondents introduced new issues, contrary to Paragraph 16 of the First Schedule to the Electoral Act, 2022.
According to Obi and the LP “the learned Justices of the court below erred in law and came to a perverse decision when they held that PW3, PW4, PW, PW6, PW7, PW8, PW9, PW10, PW11 and P’W13 were not witnesses of the court, but those of the appellants, who had paid fees for the issuance of the subpoena.”
