The Presidential Tribunal has dismissed President Muhammadu Buhari’s petition, alleging that Atiku Abubakar was a Cameroonian, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV reports that the five-man panel tribunal, Tuesday, held that the petition was “diversionary”, “incompetent” and “lacked merit”.
The Tribunal also ruled that Buhari and the APC ought to have filed a Cross-Appeal to query Atiku’s eligibility to contest the February 23 presidential election.
Igbere TV recalls that Buhari and his party, APC, had contested that Atiku was not qualified to challenge his re-election since he was not a Nigerian by birth.
