The camp of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has disclosed that they were officially served on Tuesday with copies of the petitions filed at the election tribunal by Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.
The development is coming one week after Obi and Atiku formally filed their petitions to the elections tribunal to protest the outcome of the February 25 poll.
Their petitions came four weeks after the contentious presidential and National Assembly elections that produced the President-elect.
Both the PDP and LP candidates had accused Tinubu of deliberately avoiding being served the petitions.
