After two weeks of speculations, the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has officially announced that the three petitions contesting the proclamation of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election will be decided on Wednesday, September 6.
The date was verified on Monday by Umar Mohammed Bangari, Chief Registrar of the Court of Appeal.
Everything has been put in order, according to Bangari, , to enable a smooth delivery of the ruling in the three cases.
The petitions are those filed by Abubakar Atiku, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate; Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate; and the Allied Peoples Movement’s (APC) candidate.
Bangari noted adequate security has been put in place and that only the invited members of political parties and the general public would be allowed into the courtroom to avoid congestion and security breaches.
