The Presidential Election
Petition Tribunal on Monday dismissed the petition of the Coalition for Change
(C4C) against the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 23
presidential election.
This followed an application for
withdrawal of the petition filed by the petitioners on June 10.
During the court session on
Monday, the counsel representing Mr Buhari and the All Progressive Congress
(APC), Wole Olanipekun and Lateef Fagbemi, informed the court that their
clients were yet to be served with a copy of the petition.
Mr Olanipekun said at the last
adjourned date, the panel had granted an application for substituted service
but that up till Monday morning, the petitioners were yet to serve the
processes on the first respondent.
Responding, the counsel
representing C4C, Obed Agwu, informed the tribunal that an application for the
withdrawal of their petition against the election of Mr Buhari was filed on
Monday in court but was yet to be served on the respondents.
Following the non-objection of
the application by other parties involved in the matter, the five-member panel
led by Mohammed Garba accordingly granted the application and dismissed the
suit.
