The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has reserved ruling in the application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP and its presidential candidate in the February 23 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.
PDP and its candidate Atiku has earlier moved a motion seeking for access to inspect the server and data of smart card reader used by the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC in the conduct of the presidential election.
The chairman of the panel, Justice Mohammed Garba, reserved ruling in the application shortly after counsels in the case argued their briefs in the suit.
Responding to the application, counsel to INEC, Yunus Usman asked the tribunal to refuse the request of the petitioners.
In opposing the application, counsel to President Buhari, Mr Wole Olanipekun filed a motion with two exhibits which include an exparte motion filed by the PDP seeking to inspect election materials.
Tribunal
therefore adjourned to the 24th of June for continuation of the pre-trial
hearing.
