Meanwhile, Atiku, during the proceeding, told the court he had lined up about 100 witnesses to prove he won the February 25 presidential election.

The former vice president told the presidential election petition court that it would take him three weeks to present his witnesses who would prove that Bola Ahmed, the president-elect, was wrongly declared winner.

Atiku, who filed a joint petition marked CA/PEPC/05/2023 with the PDP, is demanding that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) withdraw the certificate of return issued to Tinubu and declare him winner.
