Court Of Appeal Reserves Judgment In Kano Guber Dispute

The Presidential Election Tribunal has reserved judgment in the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to challenge the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.

A five-member of justices led by Justice Haruna Tsammani said the date would be communicated to parties.

Earlier, the Presidential Election Tribunal observed the adoption of final written addresses by parties in the petition.

Atiku, asked the Tribunal to do substantial justice to his petition and not technical judgment that may pervert the course of Justice.

He insisted that Tinubu be disqualified on the strength of the American Court judgment where he was made to forfeit $460,000 on narcotics and money laundering-related offences.

Atiku’s final address was adopted by his lead counsel, Chief Chris Uche SAN.

However, counsel to the All Progressives Congress, APC, Lateef Fagbemi SAN, urged the Court to dismiss the arguments on the ground that the purported judgement was delivered over 30 years ago.

On his own part, President Tinubu, represented by legal luminary Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN, canvassed that the petition be dismissed because the grievances of Atiku and PDP are targeted at the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC.
