The Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Monday that they had agreed to cut down the 14 days period the law prescribes for them to call their witnesses in proving the petition to 10 days.
The petitioners’ lead counsel, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu , had earlier on Monday informed the Justice Mohammed Garba-led tribunal that his team had proposed to call 400 witnesses to prove the petitioners’ case, but would make do with the number of the witnesses they would be able to call within the period prescribed by law.
Reporting the outcome of the meeting after the tribunal resumed from its break, Uzoukwu, the petitioners’ lawyer, said, “We have agreed that instead of 14 days that we have to call our witnesses, we will take 10.“Evidence-in-chief for what we call ‘ordinary witnesses’ will take five minutes.“Evidence-in-chief of expert/subpoenaed witnesses, 10 minutes.“Re-examination of all witnesses, three minutes each.
