The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidates, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi have approached to Presidential Election Court to seek permission for the inspection of election materials used during last Saturday’s poll, Punch reports.
Punch reports that Atiku and Obi refused to concede defeat in the February 25 presidential election, vowing to recover their mandate in court.

The two candidates rebuffed the gesture of conciliation made by the President-elect, Bola Tinubu who, in his acceptance speech after he was declared the winner of the poll, on Wednesday, asked them to support him in the task of building the nation.
Atiku and Obi spoke at separate news conferences, in Abuja, on Thursday.
To walk their talk, both presidential candidates requested PEC in Abuja to allow them to inspect materials used for the February 25 election.
