The Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi respectively have approached the Presidential Election Court to seek permission for the inspection of election materials used during last Saturday’s poll.
The two candidates rebuffed the gesture of conciliation made by the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, during his acceptance speech after he was declared the winner of the poll on Wednesday, where he asked them to support him in his renewed hope agenda.
Atiku and Obi addressed separate news conferences in Abuja on Thursday where they made their intention to seek redress in court known.
To walk their talk, the two presidential candidates requested Presidential Election Court in Abuja to allow them to inspect materials used for the February 25 election.
Their request is contained in two ex-parte motions they filed at the PEC secretariat at the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
Both motions, with the Independent National Electoral Commission and two others as respondents, have been listed for hearing today friday.
