    Reports by Premium Times The Presidential Election Petitions Court (PREPEC) reserved judgement in two seperate petitions filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and that of Labour Party(LP), Peter Obi challenged the declaration of Senator Bola Tinubu as President.

    The five-member panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, said the date for judgement in the two petitions would be communicated to parties shortly after all parties adopt their written addresses for and against the petitions.
    However the respondents who adopted their final addresses first urged the court to dismiss the two petitions for lacking in merit, adding that the petitioners failed to prove allegations contained last month, the tribunal had also reserved ruling in the petition by the Allied People’s Movement (APM) seeking the disqualification of Tinubu from the February 25th presidential election on account of alleged unlawful nomination of the vice presidential candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
    During the proceedings, Atiku was accompanied by PDP’s acting national chairman Umar Damagun, his retinue of aids and others, whereas Peter Obi was accompanied by Nigeria’s famous writer Chimamanda Adichie in their seperate petitions.

    Both Atiku and Obi disagreed with the submissions of the respondents in their seperate final addresses. Atiku through his lawyer urged the panel to keep to its promise to deliver substantial justice and not technical justice in their petition, adding that they had fully established allegations raised in their petitions through the testimonies of witnesses called as well as plethora of documents tendered.
    Obi through his lead counsel observed that the respondents only laboured in vain by trying to degrade the importance of IREV when the Supreme Court had already settled the fact that IREV was part of the electoral process.

    Adressing the ongoing scandal making its rounds on the internet, his wife and mother of his three children said God gave her a revelation. Mrs Ayeni said

    “Truth be told, the first thing I did when I heard the news was to check with God if indeed he would fold his arms and let anyone destroy a home he used his hands to build and guard jealously for 31 years and he told me that her claim is untrue and I should disregard it, In the end the truth shall prevail”.

    Mrs Ayeni further said she is not surprised the so called girl is parading herself to be who she is not, citing that by doing so, it is evident that she is a desperate gold digger and a slut who thinks she can become Mrs Ayeni by merely pinning a child on her highest paying victim. She also stated that Ms Adaobi has been warned through her lawyer to desist from parading herself as Mrs Ayeni because she is not and she will never be as the Lord lives.
    Mrs Ayeni is the founder of Divine Endowments, a leading fashion outlet in the United Kingdom and the U.S.
    She met her husband in Law school and was called to the Nigerian bar in 1991.
