The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, on Wednesday, rejected 15 out of the 27 witnesses presented by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, for failing to establish his case against the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.
The Tribunal gave the verdict through one of the five-man panel, Justice Stephen Adah.
