Court Adjourns Atiku’s Petition Against Tinubu Over Electoral Body, INEC’s Refusal To Release Documents | Sahara Reporters

Court Adjourns Atiku’s Petition Against Tinubu Over Electoral Body, INEC’s Refusal To Release DocumentsThe reason for the adjournment is said to be the alleged refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission to make some critical electoral materials available to him.The Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja has adjourned the hearing in the petition of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, against the election of President Bola Tinubu.

At Tuesday’s proceedings, Eyitayo Jegede, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria , who conducted proceedings for Atiku had sought to tender forms EC8A from 10 out of 21 Local Government Areas of Kogi State to establish the petition against Tinubu. Although the schedule of documents to the effect was filed along with the exhibits, the court noted that tendering such sensitive exhibits in piece meals would not be of any help especially in the areas of marking and numbering them.

The Senior lawyer hinted the Court that Atiku had paid as much as N6m for the supply of cerified true copies of the exhibits, lamenting that the electoral body had not been forthcoming and cooperating as required and envisaged, explaining that to save the situation, the legal team of the former Vice President had to subpoena top officials of INEC to compel them to bring the required documents before the Court on their own.
