Award-winning author, Chimamanda Adichie, has attended the proceedings of the Presidential Election Petition Court alongside the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Adichie, who is a vocal critic of politics and policies in Nigeria, has been a strong supporter of Obi’s presidential bid.
The Tribunal is set to resume hearing in the adoption of written address by the Labour Party and Obi.
Obi and Baba-Ahmed are challenging the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 25 February 2023 poll as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The Tribunal is set to resume hearing in the adoption of written address by LP and Obi.
The petitioners — LP, Obi; the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar — are praying for the nullification of Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 poll.
They are both praying to be named the winner of the election or that a rerun be conducted.
The parties filed and exchanged their final written addresses, with the last being Tinubu’s reply on 24 July to the final written address by Atiku and the PDP.
