Judgment Today In Tinubu/Atiku/Obi Election Disputes

Today is judgment day in the disputes that arose over the February 25  presidential election which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won.

Three other political parties – main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP), and Allied Peoples Movement (APM) – challenged the outcome of the poll.

They filed their disputes over the result of the election at the Presidential Election Petitions Court (PEPC) sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

Ahead of the judgment, security agents have been on the alert, tightening security across the land in anticipation of likely breach of the peace.

In Abuja, the surrounding environment and roads leading to the Court of Appeal headquarters have been covered by security officials as at 7 p.m yesterday.

Men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) were seen moving materials from the nearby Force Headquarters (FHQ) to the court premises.

By 7:30 p.m yesterday, traffic on some roads leading to the court had been drastically contained.

The Nation learnt that access to the Three-Arms-Zone, where the court is located, will be restricted, beginning from 6 a.m today.

Also, the FHQ has deployed police officers across the country, ahead of today’s judgment.

The court venue has been taken over by security operatives.

A statement yesterday in Abuja by Force Public Relations Officer Olumuyiwa Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), said: “The Nigeria Police Force has strengthened its deployment across the length and breadth of Nigeria. The police wish to reiterate the commitment to ensuring the safety of lives and property before, during, and after the judgment.

“The NPF has diligently emplaced all necessary deployments and security measures during this critical period as officers and men are fully prepared to maintain order and enforce laws while respecting the rights and freedoms of all citizens.”
