The Presidential Election Petitions Court sitting in Abuja has denied that a date has been fixed for judgment on the respective petitions challenging the election of President Bola Tinubu.
A usually reliable source had disclosed yesterday (Sunday), that the five-member tribunal which sat at the Court of Appeal complex in Abuja from May 8 to August 1, has agreed on September 16 as the judgment date.
But according to THE WHISTLER, spoke to the Secretary of the PEPC panel, Barrister Josephine J. Ekperobe, for confirmation. “No date yet” the official replied.
Four weeks after it adjourned for judgement, the Justice Haruna Simon Tsamani-led tribunal is expected to deliver judgement on the three petitions lodged by the Labour Party (LP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) together with their presidential candidates, Mr. Peter Obi, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the Delta-born Princess Chichi Ojei respectively, against the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the February 25, 2023 presidential election in the country.
The defendants in the cases are Tinubu, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent national Electoral Commission (INEC).
