Meanwhile, APC's lawyer Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) said the PDP and Atiku Abubakar alleged violations of 119,973 polling stations in 8,809 constituencies, yielding 62 witnesses and just five other evidence. presentation of the polls.
However, the PDP's lawyer and Atiku Abubakar, Levy Uzoukwu (SAN), urged the court to use section 138 (1) of the electoral law, which requires the election of candidates who submit false information.
The PDP lawyer said President Buhari had failed to produce evidence of some of the schools he claimed to be present in the form he submitted to INEC.
