Court has admitted Statisticians’ reports in Atiku’s petition against Tinubu’s victory.
NewsOnline reports that the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) on Wednesday in Abuja admitted in evidence three sets of reports prepared by a group of statisticians on the electoral forms used during the last presidential election.
The reports were brought before the court by a renowned statistician, Samuel Oduntan in aid of the petition by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar challenging Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential poll.
In spite of objections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Tinubu, and the All Progressives Congress (APC), the presiding justice of the court, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani admitted the three reports as exhibits.
At Wednesday’s proceedings, former NBA President, Abubakar Mahmud, Wole Olanipekun, and Lateef Fagbemi conducted the case of INEC, Tinubu, and APC respectfully.
Besides opposing the admission of the documents, the three counsels also kicked against the bid to have the reports read in open court.
Meanwhile, Justice Tsammani has fixed June 15 for further hearing of the petition especially the cross-examination of the witness.
