The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal Court in Abuja has scheduled all pre-hearing hearings leading up to the full hearing on individual applications challenging the outcome of the 2023 presidential election for Monday (May 8).
The Secretary of the PEPT confirmed the date to Naijanetgist on Wednesday.
“We have fixed Monday next week for commencement of prehearing in all the Matters before the Petition Court,” the official told our correspondent.
According to Naijanetgist the presidential candidates of the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, have responded to all preliminary objections filed against their petitions challenging Bola Tinubu's declaration as winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Furthermore, in an effort to save time, Obi's team requested the "issuance of pre-hearing notice" in respect of his petition in a letter to the Secretary of the Presidential Election Court dated April 21.
Obi requested that the PEPT resolve some crucial points in his case against INEC and Tinubu in his pre-hearing notice letter to the court.
