Just In : [Tribunal] Peter Obi, Atiku Loses Big In Court
The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed the suit filed by lawyers representing Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, seeking the live broadcast of the tribunal proceedings.
Our heritage reporter reports that the justices delivered their ruling, stating that the request for televised proceedings holds no relevance to the petition and is not supported by existing legislation.
Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, the main petitioners challenging the outcome of the presidential election, had sought to have the proceedings broadcasted live to ensure transparency and wider access to the legal proceedings.
However, the tribunal’s decision upholds the current practice of conducting the hearings without live broadcasting.
