Dr Yusuf Datti and Mr Peter Obi
The Presidential Election Petitions Court has ruled that the Labour Party—LP and its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, failed to prove their case against President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress—APC.
The five man panel headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani first ruled that Obi failed to prove that he won the election and was denied victory by failure by the Independent National Electoral Commission—INEC to squarely abide by the provisions of the Electoral Act.
It also dismissed LP and Obi’s petition on 25 per cent of Federal Capital Territory—FCT votes needed to win the presidential election.
Justice Tsamani panel ruled that FCT residents have no special privileges as the petitioners claimed.
