Tribunal to rule on Atiku, Obi’s petitions against Tinubu Wednesday

Barring any last-minute change, the presidential tribunal sitting in Abuja is expected to deliver judgement on Wednesday, September 6, 2023.

The tribunal had on August 1, 2023, reserved judgment on the petitions filed by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Labour Party’s Peter Obi.

The tribunal reserved judgment on the petitions after adopting the parties’ final written addresses.

The duo of Atiku and Obi are challenging the declaration of President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 election.

Confirming the date to our correspondent in a telephone interview, Registrar, Court of Appeal Umar Bangari said that September 6 has been fixed for the judgment.

He said, ” Yes September 6 has been fixed for the tribunal judgement. We are working on a statement to that effect.”
