President-elect Tinubu reacts to calls for live broadcast of tribunal proceedings

The President-elect Bola Tinubu has opposed the application by the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar for a live broadcast of the proceedings of the election petition.

In response to the application, Tinubu through the team of their lawyers said the application is an “abuse of the processes of this honourable court.”

They implored the Presidential Election Petition Court to dismiss the application arguing that the relief demanded by the applicants is not such that the court could grant it.

According to them, “The application also touches on the powers and jurisdiction invested in the President of the Court of Appeal by the Constitution, over which this honourable court as presently constituted cannot entertain.

The application is aimed at dissipating the precious judicial time of this honourable court.
