The presidential election petition tribunal—PEPT, 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 tribunal headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani, ruled that Obi could not prove that he won the election and was denied victory following the alleged 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 poll.
Justice Tsamani panel ruled that FCT residents have no special privileges as the petitioners claimed.
