The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, along with the party, on Tuesday in Abuja, opened their case at the Presidential Election Petition Court by tendering documents to support their petition.
One of the documents tendered by counsel to the petitioners, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede was the Form EC 8E, which is the final declaration of winners result.
Jegede, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) also tendered the Bimodal Voters Accreditation Systems (BVAS) report from all 36 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He also tendered the certified documents of the Independent National Electoral Commission in respect of the number of registered voters, as well as the number of Permanent Voter Cards collected in all 36 states, including the FCT.
The Chairman of the court, Justice Haruna Tsammani admitted the documents as evidence, and adjourned the case until Wednesday for continuation of proceedings.
Atiku and the PDP approached the court challenging the declaration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 25th February presidential election.
Atiku urged the court to declare him the winner of the election or, in the alternative, to cancel the election and order a fresh election due to alleged irregularities that marred the poll in thousands of polling units.
