Just at the start of the pre-hearing of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, the Action Alliance has withdrawn its petition against the President-Elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
VerseNews Nigeria reported that the Appeal Court in Abuja will begin hearing of petitions by Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of Peoples Democratic Party on Monday, May 8, 2023.
The AA party is also among the aggirieved party challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election that gave Tinubu victory.
The parties are commonly asking the court to nullify Tinubu’s victory on the ground that the election lacks credibility, transparency and contradicts the rules and regulations as stipulated in the Electoral Act, 2022.
