Nineteen days after declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari as winner of February 23 presidential election by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election, Mr Atiku Abubakar, has finally filed his petition against the victory of Mr Buhari at the poll.

Atiku and his party are challenging the election of Buhari and his party, All Progressives Congress (APC), on the grounds of alleged massive rigging, malpractices and non compliance substantially with the electoral laws.

In the petition filed Monday night, Atiku and PDP are praying that they be declared winner of the February 23 presidential election.

In the alternative, the two petitioners prayed the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) to nullify the poll and order a fresh election that will be conducted in line with provisions of the electoral laws.
