Atiku Abubakar has spoken following the withdrawal of the application filed by his party against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
AllNews Nigeria previously reported that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through his legal team informed the court that a notice of discontinuance had been filed in the case marked CA/PEC/10M/2023.
An anonymous source who spoke on the move disclosed that access had already been granted to the party to inspect election materials, hence the withdrawal.
Providing more clarity, Atiku buttressed the point made above, adding that the clarification became necessary in the wake of mischievous reporting surrounding the withdrawal.
“The court, however, asked that we put the president-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the INEC on notice.
“Consequently, we filed a motion on notice (number 13M) and motion ex parte (number 13MA) for substituted service on Tinubu.
“On March 10, 2023, we filed a motion (number 12M) ex parte and affidavit of urgency to ensure the implementation of the court order", he stated.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), access was granted to PDP's legal team at a conference meeting on Tuesday.
