The Presidential Election Petition court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, struck out two motions filed by the Peoples Democratic party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, against the Independent National Electoral Commission President-elect, Bola Tinubu, and the All Progressives Congress.

The first motion (on notice) marked CA/PEC/13m/2023 sought the leave of the court to observe the reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines being carried out by INEC officials.
The second motion (exparte) was filed on March 14 and sought for an order from the court to serve court documents on Tinubu and APC by substituted means, that is, to serve their papers on their staff or paste it on their premises.
But at the proceedings, PDP’s counsel, Chief Ifeanyi Iboko, said he filed a notice of discontinuance, thereby withdrawing those motions on the grounds that they had been overtaken by events.
