Recall that after the presidential election, Atiku and Obi in their separate petitions at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja, prayed the court to nullify Tinubu's election over alleged irregularities.
Atiku and the PDP who filed 35 grounds of appeal yesterday through their lawyers said the Presidential Election Petition Court erred in law by not taking into cognisance the Doctrine of Legitimate Expectation when the Independent National Electoral Commission failed to conduct the election in accordance with its own guidelines and the Electoral Act 2022.
In the Notice of Appeal, Atiku prayed the Supreme Court to declare him the authentic winner of the February 25 presidential election based on lawful votes cast by Nigerians during the poll.
