Melaye testifies for Atiku at presidential election court, faults computation of results

A former senator, Dino Melaye, on Friday, appeared before the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja as a witness in the petition filed by Abubakar Atiku and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to challenge the outcome of the February presidential poll.

Mr Melaye, dubbed as a star witness of the petitioners, told the court that the final result of the presidential election announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was wrongly computed.

The former senator who is also the PDP candidate in the forthcoming Kogi State governorship election is the 22nd witness the petitioners have called so far to challenge the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the disputed election.
