In what is being considered a major development in the legal battle over the outcome of the 2023 presidential elections in Nigeria, the Presidential Elections Petition Tribunal (PEPT) has announced the names of the five judges who will preside over the case. The PEPT has been set up to hear and determine petitions arising from the presidential elections.
The five judges who will preside over the tribunal are Justice Haruna Simon, Justice Stephen Adah, Justice Abba Mohammed, Justice Joseph Ikyegh, and Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem (Appeal Court President). This panel of judges was carefully selected for their extensive experience and knowledge of the Nigerian legal system.
The PEPT is expected to start hearing petitions soon, and Nigerians are eager for a quick and fair resolution to the matter. The nation has been on edge since the controversial presidential elections, with supporters of the leading parties closely watching developments in the legal system.
It is hoped that the panel of judges will be able to bring the matter to a logical conclusion in quick succession, and restore peace and order to the country. The Nigerian people are looking to the PEPT to provide a fair and just resolution to the presidential election dispute, and these five judges have been tasked with delivering on that promise.
