Tinubu Vs Obi, Atiku: Tribunal to Televise Proceeding Sept 6
In a significant development, the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal is set to broadcast its court proceedings on September 6, 2023, Excel Magazine International has gathered.
This decision was officially announced by Umar Bangari, the Chief Registrar of the Appeal Court, Abuja division.
Bangari emphasized that the primary motive behind this move is to enhance transparency and openness in the judicial process.
He stated in a released statement, “In a bid to promote transparency and openness, these judgements will be televised live by interested Television stations for the public to follow.”
This development comes in the wake of the legal challenge mounted by the presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who are contesting the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the presidential election held on February 14th.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared Tinubu winner of the last presidential election.
However, Atiku and Obi accused INEC of favouring Tinubu and engaging in electoral malpractice that led to the president’s victory.
