Atiku and PDP’s lawyer, Chris Uche (SAN) had prayed the court to grant his clients’ request, while lawyers to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), President-elect, Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) urged the court to reject it.
Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN) for INEC, Woke Olanipekun (SAN) for Tinubu and Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) for the APC, all described the application as ridiculous, intended to among others, trivialize the court’s business .
