Mr. Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, with his party, last week, filed a petition at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja, asking it to declare him as the rightful winner of the February 25 presidential poll.
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, on Tuesday filed his petition to challenge the victory of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 25 February election. The Independent National Electoral Commission had announced Tinubu as the winner of the election after which it declared him ‘President-elect’. In his petition before the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja, Obi alleged that the election was characterised by various irregularities including the non-qualification of the APC candidate.
The campaign council of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has continued to display a typical character of drug dealers by lying under an oath. Atiku’s Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, stated this in an interview with SaharaReporters, while calling for the disqualification of the former Lagos State governor from the 2023 presidential race.
At the peak of the APC convention at Eagle Square, Abuja on Wednesday, Tinubu was announced as the winner of the Primary election after securing 1,271 votes to beat his opponents, including former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President Ahmad Lawan and Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello.
