President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress, APC have urged the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal to dismiss the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the February 23rdgeneral election based on evidential grounds.
The petitions formed the extent of other requests contained in both Buhari and APC final addresses to be adopted on August 23 in Abuja.
The respondents had described Abubakar’s address that urged the tribunal to sack Buhari and affirm him Abubakar president, as a wild goose chase prayer.
They alleged that PDP mistakenly allowed a candidate who was not a Nigerian by birth to contest the highest position, adding that such was an adventure that violated the provision of the Constitution.
The President and his party therefore prayed the tribunal to invoke Section one hundred and thirty one of the constitution to dismiss the petition.“:14R�5�pi
