Some tweeps opine that there will be an appeal at the Supreme court.
Captain Slim appears to be part of the group looking forward to an appeal. He said,”Either way, the case is going to be appealed. There’s more waiting till supreme court determination.”
According to RowStreet, “We are waiting to see how corrupt Nigeria judiciary is it’s now or never #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary.”
Knight of the Lord Less said ,”We have A date!
September 16!
No wonder Atiku activated vawulence today!”
However, the Secretary of the PEPC panel, Barrister Josephine J. Ekperobe reacting to the news said that no date has been fixed yet.
Confiance News also learnt that in line with the Nigerian Electoral Act, the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) has 180 days to determine the petitions challenging the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Confiance News recalls that PEPT commenced its hearing on May 23, 2023, after giving three weeks to Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, to prove his case. However, the PEPT is expected to end its trials on or before November 19, 2023.
