Atiku, Obi contest states won by each other at tribunal

The states include Lagos, Imo, Edo Plateau and Cross River states.

On his part, Atiku and the PDP are contesting the results of the election in all states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Obi and his party won in the FCT and 11 states – Lagos, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Plateau, Imo, Ebonyi, Nasarawa, Anambra, Abia and Ebonyi.

While Atiku and his party have tendered CTCs of results from the states before the PEPC, they have so far led oral evidence (call witnesses) in respect of Abia and Ebonyi States.

On June 1, Atiku and the PDP called the party’s State Collation Officer for Abia State during the election, Uzoma Nkem Abonta, who claimed among others, that the election was marred by a catalogue of malpractices.

Atiku and his party also invited PDO’s State Collation Officer for Ebonyi State, Silas Joseph Onu, on June 2. He claimed that the presidential election in the state was marred by malpractices.

Atiku and the PDP claimed, in their petition, that “the purported results from 19,702 polling units across 36 states and Federal Capital Territory contain various forms of infractions.”

Both of them want to be declared winner of the election.
