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.

See a copy of Atiku’s petition below:

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.
