LP Chieftain convinced Obi will reclaim mandate despite tribunal defeat

Obi and his party had dragged Tinubu and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal seeking the nullification of the President’s victory over claims of fraud and compromise during the February 25 poll.

However, luck failed to shine on the petitioners as the five-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani struck out all the charges in the petition and affirmed Tinubu’s victory earlier declared by INEC.

Obi has since rejected the judgement and vowed to take the matter up at the Supreme Court, insisting that justice was not done.
