Atiku and his party, have filed 35 grounds of appeal, arguing that the lower court committed "grave error and miscarriage of justice" in its findings and conclusion. The notice of appeal is also asking the Appeal Court to to set aside the entire findings and conclusions of the Tribunal on the grounds that they did not represent the true picture of the grounds of his petition. Obi, on the other hand, faulted the September 6 judgement on 51 grounds. In his notice of appeal, Obi said the Presidential Election Petitions Court erred in law and thereby reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed the petition he lodged to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.
