The Presidential Election Petition Court on Thursday in
Abuja fixed May 18, 2023, for a hearing of a motion on notice seeking a live
telecast of the proceedings of the court.
The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Atiku Abubakar, alongside his party, filed the motion.
At Thursday’s proceedings, counsel to Atiku, Chief Chris
Uche SAN, told the court that the motion filed on May 7 has been served on all
the respondents.
He, however, said that none of the respondents comprising
the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the
All Progressives Congress, APC, have responded to the motion.
In reaction, Tinubu, represented by a legal luminary, Chief
Wole Olanipekun SAN, promised to file his response.
Similar undertakings were made by Abubakar Balarabe Mahmoud
SAN, who stood for INEC, and Charles Edosomwen SAN, who represented the All
Progressives Congress, APC.
Based on the agreement of counsel, the Chairman of the
court’s panel, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, fixed Thursday, May 18, for the
hearing of the motion.
