Presidential election petition judgment to be broadcast live

   

Umar Bangari, the chief registrar of the court of appeal in Abuja, has disclosed that the judgment of the presidential election petition tribunal will be broadcast live on Wednesday, September 6. 


“In a bid to promote transparency and openness, these judgments will be televised live by interested Television Stations for the public to follow,” he wrote in a statement.


“The court of appeal wishes to inform the general public that judgment in the following petitions before the Presidential Election Petition Court will be delivered on Wednesday 6. September, 2023:

“Access to the Court premises will be strictly on accreditation.

“Only accredited individuals, including counsel and representatives of political parties, will be granted access into the Courtroom.


“Interested members of the public are advised to watch proceedings from their television sets.”


Tinubu secured 8,794,726 votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who got 6,984,520, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) who polled 6,101,533 votes.


Not satisfied with the outcome, five political parties including the PDP, LP, Action Peoples Party (APP), Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and the Action Alliance (AA) lodged separate petitions before the tribunal seeking to annul Tinubu’s victory.


Shortly after the commencement of the pre-hearing session in May, the APP and AA withdrew their petitions.


Among a slew of grievances, the petitioners contended that Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, the vice-president, were not eligible to contest the February 25 presidential poll.

Image
Dear Students, Today’s unfortunate disruption of the SUG election stands as yet another reflection of the deeper issues facing not just our campus, but our nation at large. This is the real reason why the system of government in Nigeria keeps failing  because we continue to rely on an outdated system that cannot take us to the promised land. Sadly, this same flawed struture is still being practiced by the so-called Jagaban and his government, and now, the good people of Nigeria 🇳🇬 are facing the consequences. No long talk. 🧢 Here is the Circular Letter and you need to know 👇 We must renew our mindset. We must rise above the broken foundation of the past if we truly want a better future. Believe me when I say: this is the very root of what it means to "govern" — and if we, the youth, do not fix it now, who will? If you’re demanding change as a student, then let us unite — as future Presidents, Governors, Generals, Kings 👑, and Queens 👑 of this great country 🇳🇬. United ...

  A Message of Gratitude and Clarification from Usman Okai Austin I sincerely thank you all for your prayers and support. Many of you visited me during my time in Kabba prison, and I deeply appreciate your kindness. The journey from Kabba to Abuja has given me a new perspective on the significance of this experience.
