Atiku, PDP Requests For Presidential Tribunal Proceedings To Be Broadcast Live

As the Presidential Election Petition Court begins hearing on Monday, the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, have requested permission for live coverage of the case in opposition to President-elect, Bola Tinubu.

Atiku, who wins second during the election on February 25, filed the motion by means of his legal team led by Chief Chris Uche.

The former Vice President argued that the case is a matter of national concern and public interest, involving citizens and voters from all states and the Federal Capital Territory.

He also noted that the international community is interested in Nigeria’s electoral process.

The petition further stated, “An integral part of the constitutional duty of the Court to hold proceedings in public is a discretion to allow public access to proceedings either physically or by electronic means.
