The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, are contesting the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that Tinubu has been elected president of Nigeria.

Chris Uche, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), oversees Atiku's legal team, while Akin Olumuji (SAN) leads the Bola Tinubu/APC legal team, according to Naija News.

The petitioner began the day's proceedings by presenting his witnesses in the case to the court. As soon as the President of the Court of Appeal entered the courtroom and exchanged pleasantries with some of the senior attorneys, the petitioner was required to present his first witness, a Kogi State resident named Grace Ajagponna.

Ajagponna had previously served in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). During the presidential election, INEC employed her as a Polling Unit (PU) election officer.

In her testimony, under cross-examination by INEC's counsel, the witness stated that accreditation, voting, and the signing of the results by her and the party agents all went smoothly, but that the transmission of the results was unsuccessful.

Abidemi Abidemi, a resident of Suleja Niger State and an INEC ad hoc staff member, told the court that everything ran smoothly at her polling unit during the elections, and that she personally entered the scores on Forms ECA8 and party agents signed the forms.
