PEPT steps down Obi, LP petition due to inconsistencies

The court hearing for the petition against President Bola Tinubu filed by Peter Obi and the Labour Party has been suspended due to improper documentation.

The court found inconsistencies in documents from Benue state as evidence of malpractice during the presidential election in February.

Attempts to reconcile the differences were unsuccessful, and the use of unauthorized documents by Chief Emeka Okpoko, SAN, was rejected as illegal.

Also, Obi confirmed that they would challenge the election results in 18 states only.

Peter Obi and the Vice Presidential candidate of LP, Datti Baba Ahmed, alongside the leaders of the Party, were in the court, to witness the proceedings.

The five Justices led by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani hearing the petition had also retired to their chambers while Obi’s legal team reconciled their documents.
