ABUJA– The Supreme Court has reserved its judgement on the appeal the candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi, filed to challenge the outcome of the presidential election that was held on February 25.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, through their respective lawyers, prayed the court to dismiss the appeal for want of merit.Obi, who came third in the election, had in his 51 grounds of appeal, maintained that the PEPC panel erred in law and thereby reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed his petition.

They accused the Justice Haruna Tsammani-led PEPC panel of erring in law when it relied on paragraph 4 and 54 of the First Schedule to the Electoral Act 2022 to strike out paragraphs of the petition.While accusing the lower court of breaching his right to fair hearing, Obi insisted that evidence of his witnesses were wrongly dismissed as incompetent.

“The learned justices of the court below erred in law and occasioned a miscarriage of justice when they held and concluded that he failed to establish the allegation of corrupt practices and over-voting,” Obi added.
