President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress,APC have urged the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal to dismiss thepetition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its Candidate, AtikuAbubakar, challenging the February 23rdgeneral election based on evidentialgrounds.
The petitions formed the extent of other requests containedin both Buhari and APC final addresses to be adopted on August 23 in Abuja.
The respondents had described Abubakar’s address that urgedthe tribunal to sack Buhari and affirm him Abubakar president, as a wild goosechase prayer.
They alleged that PDP mistakenly allowed a candidate who wasnot a Nigerian by birth to contest the highest position, adding that such wasan adventure that violated the provision of the Constitution.
The President and his party therefore prayed the tribunal toinvoke Section one hundred and thirty one of the constitution to dismiss thepetition.“:14R�5�pi
