The Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja has rejected 15 out of the 27 witnesses presented by Atiku Abubakar of the PDP to prove his case against the election of President Bola Tinubu.
The court gave the decision in the judgement, which is still being delivered as of the time of filing this report Wednesday, by Stephen Adah, a member of the five-member bench.
The court expunged the testimonies of the 15 witnesses on the grounds that the petitioner failed to file their statements on oath along with the petition. It added that the petitioner was unable to file the statements on oath before the close of the 21-day window for filing election petitions from the date the result of the election was announced.
