The Presidential Election Petition Court is set to hear the petition filed by the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) challenging the February 25 election victory of President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

At the last hearing on Monday, the party asked for a week’s adjournment which was turned down by the court. The party had applied to the court for a date to commence hearing of its petition against the results of the presidential election which had earlier been delayed over their inability to obtain a Supreme Court judgement.

The apex court had dismissed the PDP’s suit which sought to nullify the President’s election based on allegations of double nomination against Vice-President Kashim Shettima. The party claims the ruling is necessary for them to make progress in their case because it had far-reaching pronouncements which are relevant to certain core issues of dispute in its case.

The APM is expected to open and close its case today by calling one witness.
