Levi Uzoukwu (SAN), Chris Uche (SAN) and P.A. Akubo (SAN) appearing
for PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar during hearing on
the application to compel INEC give access to inspect electoral
materials at the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Wednesday.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the
petition filed by Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were not signed by a legal
practitioner licensed to practise in Nigeria.
Atiku had filed a petition before the presidential election
tribunal to challenge the reelection of President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Atiku’s legal team is led by Livy Uzoukwu with 31 other
lawyers.
In its response as the first respondent in the case, INEC said
the petition was not signed by a legal practitioner enrolled in the
Supreme Court of Nigeria.
The electoral body said the results Atiku claimed to have polled
were “invented” solely for the petition, adding that it never
transmitted results electronically.
“That the Petitioner’s Petition, List of Witnesses and List of
Documents as filed are incompetent and ought to be struck out as
same were not signed by a legal practitioner enrolled in the
Supreme Court of Nigeria and licensed to practise in Nigeria,” read
INEC’s response to Atiku’s petition.
Speaking with reporters in March, Uzoukwu had said the legal
team of the PDP presidential candidate had sufficient fact to back
its case.
The electoral umpire, however, prayed that the petition be
struck out for lack of competence.
