ElectionTribunal: Atiku setup for Trial as Bulkachuwa Appoints Replacement at Tribunal
According to THISDAY Reports, The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and his party in the petition challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 23 presidential election, yesterday hinted that it would seek accelerated hearing of Atiku and PDP’s petition at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
A top member of the legal team confided in THISDAY about the plan to fast-track hearing of the petition to make up for the loss of time arising from the controversy over the membership of Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, which led her to recuse herself as chairman of the tribunal on May 22, 2019, and the delay in naming her replacement.
Statutorily, the tribunal has 180 days, which began counting from when the petition was filed on March 18, 2019, to determine the case.
