Labour Party has rejected the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday,which affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu,as the winner of the last presidential election in the country.

National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement said that: “The Labour Party watched with dismay and trepidation the dismissal of petitions by the five-man panel of the Presidential Election Petition Court led by today and we reject the outcome of the judgment in its entirety because justice was not served and it did not reflect the law and the desire of the people.
“Nigerians were witnesses to the electoral robbery that took place on February 25, 2023, which was globally condemned but the Tribunal in its wisdom refused to accept the obvious.”
