The resumption of the presidential election tribunal sitting comes amid allegations of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) planning to influence the proceedings with financial inducements.
In a recent chat with journalists, the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Debo Ologunagba, alleged that APC members have "demonstrated capacity and proclivity to compromise democratic institutions in our country".
