The Supreme Court is expected totoday, Wednesday hear the petitions filed by the People’s Democratic Party, PDPand its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging President MuhammaduBuhari’s victory at the February 23rd election.
PDP and Atiku are challenging theSeptember 11 judgment of the Justice Mohammed Garba-led Presidential ElectionPetitions Tribunal which confirmed President Buhari’s victory at the polls.
The appeals hearing have caused somearguments especially due to the silence of the Supreme Court on the justicesthat would constitute the panel, with the Coalition of United ProgressivesParty, CUPP seeking the use of superiority in the selection.
A senior member of Atiku’s legalteam, Chris Uche, SAN said they considered it strange that as at yesterday, thepetitioners still did not know those that would constitute the panel.
On his part, a top member ofPresident Buhari’s legal team, Alex Izinyon, SAN said the team is notinterested in knowing the justices of the Court that would constitute the panelto hear the appeals.
