End Of The Road For Peter Obi As Supreme Court Strikes Out His Appeal

The Supreme Court has struck out the appeal of Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 election.

In its ruling on Thursday, the seven-member panel held that the issues canvassed by Obi were the same as that of Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), thus there was no need for a repeat.

Earlier, the court had struck out Atiku’s appeal for lack of merit.

The court sat over Obi’s appeal for about five minutes.
