Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, the presidential candidates for the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party, respectively, have moved the Presidential Election Court to request authorization for the scrutiny of election materials used during last Saturday’s election.
According to ANAEDOONLINE.NG, Atiku and Obi vowed to fight for their mandate in court and refused to accept loss in the presidential election on February 25.
In his acceptance speech after being named the winner of the election on Wednesday, Bola Tinubu requested the two candidates to join him in the effort to improve the country, but the gesture of reconciliation was rejected by the two contenders.
On Thursday in Abuja, Atiku and Obi each gave a speech at a separate news conference.

To walk their talk, both presidential candidates requested PEC in Abuja to allow them to inspect materials used for the February 25 election.
Their request is contained in two ex-parte motions they filed at the PEC secretariat at the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
Both motions, with the Independent National Electoral Commission and two others as respondents, have been listed for hearing on Friday (today).
