On Monday, April 8, 2023, Action Alliance (AA) announced the withdrawal of its petition against the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the 2023 presidential election.
Truetells reports that the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal commenced the pre-hearing of the cases against the President-elect today in Abuja.
AA has stated no reason for the withdrawal as of reporting time.
Lawyers and security personnel have already arrived at the Court of Appeal in Abuja as the pre-hearing of the petitions challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election begins.
The major petitioners include Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi and others. They are challenging the pronouncement of Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The court pre-hearing resumed at about 9:15 am with an opening remark by the Presiding Justice Haruna Tsammani, who leads a five-man panel of Justices. Justice Tsammani maintained the panel will do justice to the case and advised the lawyers against making sensational comments.
He also asked for their cooperation since the case is time bound and they should be wary of bringing unnecessary applications that will waste the time of the court. The Judge concluded by saying that everyone will be satisfied with the verdict at the end of the case.
