President Muhammadu Buhari has responded to allegations contained in the petition by Atiku Abubakar and his party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before the presidential election tribunal.
Buhari, in a
response filed on April 16 by a team of lawyers led by Wole Olanipekun
(SAN), faulted the claim by Atiku and the PDP that he lacked the
requisite academic qualification to stand for election to the office of
the President.
The President said he was far more qualified than
Atiku and challenged Atiku to produce his academic credentials before
the tribunal.
Buhari faulted the entire petition filed by the PDP
and Atiku, noting that they are more about pre-election issues, which
the Court of Appeal, sitting as a tribunal lacked jurisdiction.
He
also argued that the petitioners told lies against themselves in the
petition and made conflicting claims which the tribunal cannot grant.
