THE presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and his party, the People’s Democratic Party on Tuesday appealed the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal at the Supreme Court.

The tribunal had on September 11, dismissed the petition filed by the PDP and its candidate in the last presidential election, ruling against the petitioners on all the five grounds.

But Atiku and the PDP, in their appeal at the Supreme Court said the five-man tribunal erred in law “when they relied on overall interest of justice to hold that the 2nd Respondent’s Exhibits R1 to R26, P85, and P86 were properly admitted in evidence”.
