Nigerians eagerly anticipating the outcome of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), have barely two weeks to wait, as the Court of Appeal judges have set Sept. 16 to decide on whether President Bola Tinubu would continue in office or be shown the way out.
The panel headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani, which began sitting in May, had on Aug.1, deferred judgement after all the parties adopted their final addresses at the last day sitting in Abuja, leaving many Nigerians in anxiety.
Reliable sources said that the five-member tribunal has agreed to deliver the verdict in September.
The Justice Haruna Simon Tsamani-led tribunal is expected to deliver judgement on the three petitions.
The petitions are lodged by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) together with their presidential candidates, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Mr Peter Obi and the Delta-born Princess Chichi Ojei respectively, against the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the winner of the Feb. 25 presidential election.
The defendants in the cases are Tinubu, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent national Electoral Commission (INEC).
