Tinubu's victory: Labour Party chieftain rejects tribunal's verdict, reveals what INEC must do right

  • Labour Party has again accused INEC of rigging the 2023 presidential election that aided Bola Tinubu’s emergence as Nigeria’s president
  • Kenneth Okonkwo, a strong chieftain of the party, highlighted the contradictions and inconsistencies of the electoral umpire during the presidential elections
  • Downplaying the tribunal’s verdict, he thereby affirmed that such election victory cannot be upheld by any court, adding that the poll was not credible

A chieftain of the Labour Party, Barrister Kenneth Okonkwo, has maintained that the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal does not matter if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) does not upload the full results of the February 25 poll.

Recall the tribunal, in its final verdict on Wednesday, September 6, rejected the petition to overturn President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election victory, noting it lacked merit.
