Nigeria President Bola Tinubu has warned the Presidential Election Petition Court, that misinterpreting the law as provided for in the constitution on the 25% of lawful votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, could “lead to absurdity, chaos, anarchy and alteration of the very intention of the legislature.”
Tinubu also told the Court that the two petitions filed by candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, seeking the nullification of his victory were not only novel but not familiar with the country’s electoral laws.
