The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has granted access to President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to inspect the materials used by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the conduct of the February 23 presidential election.

In their separate ex parte applications for the order of inspection, Buhari and his party had said they needed to be granted access to the materials to enable them to defend themselves in any petition which the runner-up in the poll, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had filed.

The Justice Abdu Aboki-led tribunal had earlier on March 6 granted similar order to PDP and Atiku, permitting them to inspect the electoral materials used by INEC for the conduct of the election to enable them to file their petition against the outcome of the poll.

The tribunal, in its rulings made the order permitting them to carry out the inspection of the electoral materials and obtain the certified through copies of the documents from INEC.
