Their request is said to be contained in two ex-parte motions they filed at the PEC secretariat at the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
It was gathered that while Atiku filed his on March 1, Obi’s filed his on 2nd March.
Both motions, with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and two others as respondents, have been listed for hearing today.
Both Atiku and Obi have claimed in separate statements that they won the election last Saturday but were rigged out.
However, both candidates have decided not to accept the results of the election that produced the All Progressive Congress candidate, Bola Tinubu as the winner.
They have vowed to explore all legal means to reclaim their alleged mandate even after INEC has declared Tinubu the winner of the polls.
