The Court held that the request was novel and not supported with any law in the country for now.

Justice Haruna Tsammani who delivered the unanimous decision of the five-member panel of Justices of the court said the request was not rooted from the petition Atiku filed before the Court.

Justice Tsammani also said that the request was capable of turning the Court to Stadium or market square and that such must not be allowed for now adding that granting live broadcast of the proceedings of the petition would not add any value to the petition and dismissed the application for lacking in merit.

The court held that the issue of televising of proceedings requires a judicial policy and that the practice directives for the conduct of the proceedings in the petition by the President of the Court of Appeal did not include granting televising of proceedings in election petition.

It will recaaled that Atiku had approached the Court hearing his case against the outcome of the February 25 presidential polls, for an order allowing live broadcast of the day to day proceedings regarding his petition because of its monumental importance.

Atiku and the PDP in the application specifically prayed the tribunal for “An order Directing the Court’s Registry and the parties on modalities for admission of Media Practitioners and their Equipment into the courtroom.”

In another development, the President-elect, Bola Tinubu and his party have kicked against consolidation of the petions against his victory at the February 25 polls.
