FCT, Abuja - Abba Kyari, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff since 2015, is to testify as the President’s third defence witness at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
He mounted the witness stand at about 3:38pm on Tuesday.
CEOAfrica recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday opened his defence in the petition filed at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal by Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The petitioners are challenging the victory of Buhari and his All Progressives Cogress at the February 23, 2019 presidential poll.
The five-man tribunal led by Justice Mohammed Garba had, on Monday, asked Buhari’s legal team to open their defence on Tuesday after the Independent National Electoral Commission said it would not call any witness in the case.
