The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 25, 2023, presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has cried out over the non-availability of the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court three days after it was delivered.
Atiku made this known his legal counsels who are yet to receive a copy of the judgment after formally applying to the court for certified true copies as of Friday.
This is coming on the heels of the fact that Atiku and his lawyers have just 14 days to file their appeal to the Supreme Court on the judgment.
Special Assistant to Atiku on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, in a statement on the matter said, “by not making available to Atiku Abubakar, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, the certified true copies of the judgment of Wednesday for its filings at the Supreme Court, the Presidential Election Petition Court, is undermining Atiku’s and Nigerians quest for justice.”
Shaibu reminded the PEPC that “it had made heavy weather at the delivery of its judgment on Wednesday that parties need to adhere strictly to the time schedule set by the court.
“The PEPC is not oblivious that three precious days of the 14-day limit for parties to file their processes at the highest court have been wasted by the Appeal Court.

According to Okpor, Ebonyi indigenes in all parts of the world are industrious, hardworking, and law-abiding people. He then frowns at how the criminal activities of some hoodlums who claimed to be from the state should be used to generalize Ebonyians as criminals.
