Bola Tinubu has been under fire from both Peter Obi, the candidate for the Labour Party, and Atiku Abubakar, the PDP candidate.
They charged that Tinubu, the president-elect, avoided their petitions to overturn his election on purpose.
In order to get permission to serve Tinubu with the petitions via alternative methods, the pair has re-applied to the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, located in Abuja.
You may recall that Tinubu, who was proclaimed the winner of the presidential election on March 1, is currently abroad.
Atiku and Obi complained in their motions to the court that all attempts to serve him personally with their petitions had failed.
In the meantime, the court stated that it will hear Atiku and Obi’s motions by 11 a.m. today due to an affidavit of urgency that was submitted along with the motion ex-parte.
You may recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to have won the presidential election, beating out the other 17 contenders who ran for the position.
In order to overcome Atiku, who received a total of 6,984,520 votes, and Obi of the LP, who finished in third place with a total of 6,101,533 votes, Tinubu amassed a total of 8,794,726 votes, according to INEC.
In the meantime, the court stated that it will hear Atiku and Obi’s motions by 11 a.m. today due to an affidavit of urgency that was submitted along with the motion ex-parte.
