Livy Ozoukwu, lead counsel to Labour Party and Peter Obi, in the petition marked CA/PEPC/03/2023, contended that Tinubu “was not duly elected by the majority of the lawful votes cast at the time of the election.”
They claimed that vice president-elect, Kashim Shettima had a double nomination in contravention of the electoral act, adding that the February 25th presidential election was marred by rigging and manipulations.
The LP and Obi also claimed that INEC violated its regulations when it announced the results when at the time of the announcement, the total polling unit results had yet to be fully scanned, uploaded, and transmitted electronically as required by the electoral act.
