Proceedings at the Presidential Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja was again stalled on Monday on account of issues relating to the eight pending applications which the Tribunal must resolve before the hearing of the substantive petition can start.
Presiding Justice Ayo Isa Salami directed parties to harmonise their positions with a view to reducing the length of time which would be required to deal with the pending applications so as clear all encumbrances working against the speedy hearing of the petition filed by the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, challenging Goodluck Jonathan and Namadi Sambo as winners of the last presidential election.
Hours later when the tribunal resumed, counsel representing the parties in the petition, informed the court that they are yet to conclude with the ratification and harmonisation of their pending applications and sought for time to enable them present a harmonised document before the tribunal.
