Atiku Names 18 Sans To Prove His Victory

POSTED ON March 8, 2023 •   Uncategorized      BY Akinbohun Samuel

Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), emerged as the winner of the recent presidential election. Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has taken a strategic move toward disputing this conclusion.

In order to retrieve what he refers to as his "stolen mandate," Atiku has put together a team of seasoned attorneys, including Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), to represent him at the Election Petition Tribunal. The former vice president officially launched the legal team on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at his campaign headquarters in Abuja.

The SANS: The team of SANs includes renowned legal practitioners such as Mike Ozekhome, Chris Uche, Paul Usoro, Tayo Jegede, Ken Mozia, Mahmood Magaji, Joe Abraham, Chukwuma Umeh, Dr. Garba Tetengi, Chief Emeka Etiaba, Chief Goddy Uche, Prof. Maxwell Gidado, A. K. Ajibade, O. M. Atoyebi, Nella Rabana, Paul Ogbole, Nuremi Jimoh, and Abdul Ibrahim. Atiku's move is similar to that of Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, who has also taken his case to court.
