Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has reacted to the response of President Bola Tinubu to the appeal filed by the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Recall that the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) had on September 6 dismissed the petition filed by Atiku and the PDP challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.
In the judgment, the tribunal held that the petition lacked merit because the PDP candidate failed to prove all the averments in his petition.
Atiku subsequently filed 35 grounds notice of appeal before the apex court on September 18, 2023, and asked the court to set aside the entire findings and conclusions of the tribunal.
In his response filed on Saturday, Tinubu asked the apex court to dismiss Atiku’s appeal challenging the ruling of the presidential election tribunal because it lacks merit and is abusive in nature.
