Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, is at Abuja’s presidential election petition tribunal.

The tribunal is gearing up to examine the written addresses submitted in the two petitions that remain before it. Atiku and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, had separately filed petitions seeking to challenge the declaration of Bola Tinubu as the victor of the February 25 presidential election.
