Tribunal strikes out NNPP, APP petitions against Governor Abiodun’s election

The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has struck out the petitions filed by the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the Action People’s Party (APP) against the reelection of Governor Dapo Abiodun.

The two parties and their candidates filed the petitions marked EPT/Gov/01/2023 and EPT/OG/Gov/04/2023 in April.

However, at the sitting of the tribunal on Monday, the counsel to the parties, Peter Ogah, withdrew the petitions based on the motion of discountenance earlier filed before the tribunal.
