Proceedings have been stalled at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) owing to a request by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar’s lawyer, Livy Uzoukwu (SAN), and Atiku Abubakar himself.

When the case was mentioned a little after 10 am, on Wednesday, Uzoukwu told the five-man panel tribunal, that he has an application, which he would prefer to move in chambers.

He sought the understanding of other lawyers in the case, following which it was agreed that the tribunal suspends sitting and listen to the issues the lawyer to the PDP and Atiku wish to raise.
