Supreme Court can accept fresh evidence of alleged forgery challenge of the outcome of the February 25 election-Atiku Abubakar

By



Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has told President Bola Tinubu that the Supreme Court can accept fresh evidence of alleged forgery in his challenge of the outcome of the February 25 election.


The Supreme Court will on Monday commence hearing in the appeals by the three political parties challenging the election with a major ruling to focus on the leave by Atiku to file copies of the deposition of the Chicago State University (CSU) in USA on Tinubu’s diploma to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).


Tinubu’s lawyers had asked the apex court not to entertain the fresh 32-page depositions as they were brought outside the 180 days provided by the Electoral Act, 2022 for the hearing of the petition against the February 25 presidential election.


In the reply to the application for leave filed by Atiku, counsel to Tinubu, Wole Olanipekun (SAN) submitted that the apex court lacked the necessary jurisdiction to receive and decide on the fresh evidence at this stage of the appeal.

PayPal has officially confirmed a serious data breach. Not a rumor. Not a third-party leak. A confirmed, company-admitted breach that left your Social Security number, date of birth, email address, phone number, and home or business address exposed to unauthorized strangers for nearly six full months. And for some users? It went further than exposure. Money was actually stolen. What Happened — The Full Story Behind the PayPal Breach This didn't happen because a hacker deployed some Hollywood-style cyberattack.
