Hope Democratic Party and its candidate, Chief Albert Owuru, yesterday asked the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to stop the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2019 pending the determination of complaints arising from the February 23 polls.
The petitioners submitted that once the validity of an election or a person is under contention, it behooves affected litigants to halt oath taking and assumption of office. They further argued that a petition dated March 7, 2019, had been dully served on Buhari, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the All Progressives Congress questioning the return of the nation’s first citizen as winner of the February 23 exercise, adding that the parties had exchanged pleadings.
Buhari’s counsel, Wole Olanipekun , that of INEC, Yunus Ustaz and APC’s, Lateef Fagbemi , told the panel that they needed time to study the application. Besides, the Peoples Democratic Party has condemned alleged plot by Buhari and his party to move “major events of the planned presidential inauguration from May 29 to June 12, the Democracy Day, to confer any form of legitimacy to the outcome of the rigged 2019 polls.”
That is the only right thing to do. Buhari is our president.
That’s a joke! There is no basis for their prayer
What's even the total number of votes that HDP got?
