The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) Registry has notified parties through their lawyers.
The first of the two petitions, numbered CA/ PEPC/03/2023 is by the LP and Obi.
The second, CA/ PEPC/05/2023, is by Atiku and his party.
Both sets of petitioners are praying for the nullification of President Bola Ahmed Tinubuâs victory in the February 25 election.
They are praying to be named the winner or for a rerun to be conducted.
Parties have since filed and exchanged their final written addresses, with the last being Tinubuâs reply filed on July 24 to the final written address by Atiku and the PDP.
Obi and the LP called 13 witnesses, tendered volumes of documents and closed their case on June 23.
Atiku and the PDP called 27 witnesses, tendered volumes of documents and closed their case also on June 23.
In the petition by Obi and his party, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) called one witness, tendered some documents and closed its case on July 4.
It closed its case with the same witness on July 3 in the petition by Atiku and the PDP.
Tinubu, Shettima and APC closed their case in both petitions on July 5.
Tinubu and Shettima called one witness and tendered documents, including certified true copies (CTCs) of the Presidentâs academic records from Chicago State University and evidence of his many trips to the United States.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) did not call any witness in its defence in both petitions, but tendered documents, including court judgments.
The three respondents urged the court to dismiss the petitons, arguing that the petitioners failed to establish their cases with credible evidence.
On July 14, parties in the petition by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) adopted their written addresses following which the court reserved judgment. Presiding Justice Haruna Tsammani hinted that judgments in the three petitions will be delivered on the same day.
