This comes shortly after the Labour Party (LP) and Mr. Peter Obi, the LP’s presidential candidate, filed a similar lawsuit at the Abuja electoral petitions tribunal contesting Tinubu’s designation as the victor of the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
The petition marked: CA/PEPC/03/2023, has INEC; Tinubu; his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, and the APC as the 1st to 4th respondents.

The petitioners are praying for the tribunal to declare that Tinubu was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election. They want an order mandating INEC to retrieve the certificate of return issued to the APC candidate and issue a fresh one to Obi.
