Tinubu seeks dismissal of Atiku’s petition for constituting abuse of court processes

The President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Thursday, described the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the party against his victory in the February 25 election as “a gross abuse of court processes.”

Tinubu stated this in a reply to the petition presented through his team of lawyers led by Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) at the sitting of the presidential election petition tribunal in Abuja.

In a preliminary objection marked: CA/PEPC/05/2023, the former Lagos State governor urged the court to dismiss the entire petition for lack of merit.
