Presidential Election Petition Tribunal Commences Proceedings

In Abuja, the presidential election petition tribunal has begun to hear cases.

Recall that the pronouncement of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner of the February 25 presidential election is being contested by Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

According to ABN TV, Atiku is requesting, among other things, that the court order the electoral authority to hold a new election due to alleged anomalies at voting locations during the presidential election.

According to Obi, Tinubu was unable to obtain the majority of valid votes or one-fourth of the vote, in the Federal Capital Territory, or FCT.

In addition, he said that Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, lacked the necessary qualifications to stand for election.
