NEWS: Atiku’s Legal Team Reveals Next Line Of Action

There is a plan to pursue a lawsuit against the declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the presidential election.

The lawyer leading Atiku’s legal team to the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, Mr Livy Uzoukwu (SAN) said on Sunday that work had begun on Atiku’s petition and would be filed as soon as possible.

Uzouwku said, “All I can tell you for now, is that we are already working on it and we would file it as soon as it is read”. Don’t forget this is a presidential election that covers all Nigeria. This is not a governorship, House of Representatives or senatorial election. We are talking about the whole of Nigeria.”

The lawyer also explained that his client was still within the timeline to file the petition as the law gives an election petitioner 21 days from the day of the declaration of the results to file his or her complaints before the tribunal.The presidential election held on February 23 but the result was not declared until February 27.
