The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal on Wednesday hear the motions brought by the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, over the outcome of the February 25 election.
New Telegraph earlier reported that two political parties including Action Alliance (AA) and Allied Peoples Party (APP) which filled a case against the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, All Progressives Congress (APC), and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have withdrawn their suit.
Recall that the tribunal on Monday shifted the hearing of the Petition filed against Tinubu, and INEC, by Peter Obi to Wednesday to hear the suit.
Obi is challenging the victory of Tinubu in the just concluded 2023 presidential election held on February 25, 2023.
It was reported that the lawyers are now returning to the tribunal for the hearing of Obi and LP’s motions as of 2 pm this afternoon.
Levi Uzoukwu (SAN), LP’s lead counsel, has solicited for the postponement of the motion on the petition to Wednesday next week to enable all non-contentious processes to be filed.
Lawyers to INEC, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN); Tinubu and Shettima, Wole Olanipekun (SAN); APC, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) have all affirmed that the agreement has been reached to harmonise on documents to be allowed for the main hearing.
