The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) on Monday in
Abuja said it would passionately and objectively look into the petitions filed
against the declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, as the winner of the February 25 Presidential election.
Chairman of the court, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, gave
the assurance at the inaugural sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
He said that the court would do justice to all the parties when
it comes up in the judgments on the petitions.
He, however, appealed to lawyers involved in the petitions
to avoid unnecessary technicalities, sentiments, emotions and time-wasting
while arguing for their respective clients.
A former Vice President and presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi of the Labour
Party, LP, among others, filed the petitions.
Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN, who is standing for the
President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Chief Chris Uche SAN standing for Atiku
Abubakar, assured the court of lawyers’ cooperation.
At the time of this report, Plateau State Governor Simon
Lalong, Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Gregory Obi; Senator
Victor Umeh, Labour Party’s factional national Chairman, Julius Abure, have
arrived in the court.
It was observed that over 200 Senior Advocates of Nigeria
SANs are also in the court for cases of their respective clients.
