The presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last general elections, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar, and his party have called on the tribunal to sack President Muhammadu
Buhari when it finally delivers its judgement on their petition.
They called on the Tribunal to
determine the petition on its merit rather than technicalities and ensure
substantial justice.
The PDP and Atiku insisted that
Buhari was not qualified to have contested the election and as such should be
disqualified.
Mike Ozekhome, SAN, one of the
senior lawyers in Atiku’s legal team, said it was the expectation of his client
“that the judiciary, as the last hope of the common man, will be dauntless in
addressing the substance of the petition by the peoples’ candidate, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar, in the collective quest to retrieve a stolen mandate through
the legal process,” according to Sun.
“We have made a solid case before
the panel. Our client, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has also presented his case
supported by credible evidence.
“We had presented
incontrovertible evidence to show that our presidential mandate was stolen.
Every Nigerian now looks on to the judicial officers for justice.
“Nigerians are waiting and hoping
that the judiciary will have the courage to do justice in the presidential
election petition.”
