Tribunal Grants PDP, Atiku Access to Electoral Materials

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has granted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, access to the electoral materials used in the February 23 presidential election.

The tribunal, in a ruling delivered on Wednesday, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to provide the PDP and Atiku with the materials, including the ballot papers, result sheets, and other documents.

The PDP and Atiku had filed a petition challenging the outcome of the election, which was won by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari.

The tribunal's ruling is seen as a significant development in the petition, as it will allow the PDP and Atiku to scrutinize the electoral materials and gather evidence to support their claims of irregularities and fraud in the election.

The PDP and Atiku have alleged that the election was marred by widespread irregularities, including the use of underage voters, ballot box snatching, and the manipulation of results.

The tribunal's ruling is a major victory for the PDP and Atiku, and it sets the stage for a potentially lengthy and contentious legal battle over the outcome of the election.
