PEPC Strikes Out Peter Obi, LP Lose 25% Votes Claim Against Tinubu, Says No Special Priviledges For FCT Residents
The Labour Party (LP) has lost one of its petition challenging the results of the February 25 presidential election on the grounds that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) President Bola Ahmed Tinubu failed to secure 25% of total votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The court in its ruling at the ongoing hearing of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) noted that FCT residents have no special privileges as the petitioners claimed.
In another petition filed by the LP, it alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reduced their scores and added them to APC votes.
The court ruled that the LP failed to supply particulars of what they actually scored before the said reductions, nor did they supply the polling units where it happened.
Peter Obi Wins As Tribunal Declares APC’s Petition Incompetent
The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) in its judgement has declared the APC’s petition challenging Peter Obi’s membership of the Labour Party as incompetent.

The Tribunal also touched on the issue of non-joinder of Atiku Abubakar who came second and wondered how Obi & LP’s petition could be effectively determined without joining the candidate who placed second in the polls
