One of the primary reliefs sought by Atiku is the withdrawal of the Certificate of Return issued to Tinubu by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The pre-hearing session of the petition was scheduled to continue before Justice Haruna Tsammani-led’s five-member panel. Atiku had previously filed an application for live coverage of the day-to-day proceedings on his petition.

Atiku arrived at the courtroom at approximately 8:35 am, accompanied by his friends and well-wishers, including Senator Dino Melaye, the PDP candidate for the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi State.
