The Labour Party and its presidential candidate in the February 25, presidential election, Mr Peter Obi, have filed a 51-grounds of appeal at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, seeking the nullification of declaration of President Bola Tinubu by the Independent National Electoral Commission as winner of the election.
Obi’s notice of appeal was filed by his counsel, P. I. N Ikwueto SAN.
Obi told the apex court that the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court delivered on September 6, by Chairman of the 5-man panel, Justice Haruna Tsammani, was against the weight of evidence.
Obi is praying the Supreme Court
to allow his appeal, as well as set aside the “perverse Judgment of the Court below”.
He asked the apex court to grant the reliefs sought in the petition, either in the main or in the alternative.
