A group, Atiku Support Organisation, has asked the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal judges to stand firm for justice ahead of hearing of petitions arising from the February 25 presidential election.
VOICE AIR MEDIA learnts that PEPC fixed Monday for the hearing of the petitions challenging the declaration of the All Progressives Congress standard bearer, Bola Tinubu, as the President-elect.
With this development, the expected legal battle by candidates disputing the outcome of the 2023 presidential poll will commence from May 8.
The National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Ahmad El-Marzuq, confirmed the date to the Newsmen on Tuesday.
But in a statement on Wednesday, the pro-Atiku Abubakar group urged the tribunal judges to remain âresolute and unshakenâ in the face of alleged intimidation by some desperate cartels.
The statement signed by ASO National Publicity Secretary, Victor Moses, read, âNigerians are watching, the entire world is watching. Some desperate cartels in the APC are working tirelessly to frustrate and arm-twist the judiciary. Some are already planning the Sudanization of Nigeria if the case of the worst election in Nigeria since 1960 goes against them.
âBut we believe this petition provides the best opportunity for our judges to make history and strengthen our democracy and laws. It happened in Kenya in September 2017, it can happen in Nigeria and havens will not fall.
âWe wish to also strongly maintain that any judgement which fails to return His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar as the validly and duly elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, or at least, order for a runoff or a rerun is a miscarriage of justice. The facts are clear and the evidence is too glaring even to the blind.
âThe court should be truly the court of justice and not of technicality. The court should be the last hope of the common man and not the last hope of the man with a deep pocket. Those who criminally and brazenly rigged themselves into office must not escape justice with substantial consequences on the grounds of technicality.â CONTINUE READING……………………………………..
