The presidential election petition tribunal has ruled out the application seeking the live coverage of proceedings in court.

This decision was issued on Monday, May 22 at the court of appeal in Abuja when Justice Haruna Tsammani ruled out the application of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and The Labour Party.

The jurors ruled that televising the proceedings was novel and added no value to the petition as it is not stipulated in Nigeria's constitution or legal framework.
