The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, Nigeria’s seat of power, on Wednesday thrown out about 17 paragraphs from the petition brought before it by Peter Obi and the Labour Party against the President Bola Tinubu.
The court, presided over by Justice Haruna, Tsammani , struck out the paragraphs for containing “vague and generic allegations”.
A member of the tribunal’s five-member panel, Justice Abba Mohammed, read the lead verdict
Obi and LP are complainants in the petition marked CA/PEPC/03/2023, challenging the election which brought Tinubu to power on May 29.
The petitioners made allegations of irregularities and said they would rely on spreadsheets, inspection reports and forensic analysis filed with the petition during the trial.
