The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) led by The Presiding Justice, Justice Haruna Tsammani on Monday, scheduled ruling for 10am on Tuesday on whether or not to consolidate the three petitions by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
The Informant247 gathered that Justice Tsammani ‘s announcement followed the argument by lawyers to parties, with the petitioners urging the court to consolidate, while the respondents, except the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), argued against consolidation.
INEC’s lawyer, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN) said his client was neither for nor against consolidation but will abide by the court’s position on the issue
