The Supreme Court is set to begin hearing on the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar challenging the election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The 7-man panel is headed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice IbrahimTanko Mohammed.

Other members of the panel are Bode Rhodes-Vivour, Olukayode Ariwoola, John Okoro, Aminu Sanusi, Ejembi Eko and Uwani Abba-ji.

At the opening of proceedings, the apex court stood down Atiku’s appeal for 15 mins to enable parties agree on whether or not to consolidate all the appeals.

The Court, however, resumed sitting after all the counsels agreed to a consolidation of all the appeals.
