Tribunal reserves judgement in Obi’s petition against Tinubu

The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal has reserved judgment on the petition which Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) filed to challenge the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 election.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Tinubu the winner of the February 25, 2023 presidential election, but Obi rejected the outcome and headed for the Tribunal.

In their final written address dated July 20, Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed, his running mate, said Tinubu was not qualified to contest the election. 

IdanNew had earlier reported that court had reserves judgment on Atiku’s petition against Tinubu, INEC 

The five-member justices led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, on Tuesday, August 1, said the court will communicate the judgement date to the parties.
