Eko Hot Blog reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday defeated Peter Obi and the Labour Party at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT).
The tribunal judges led by Justice Tsammani struck out the petitions challenging the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the February 25th presidential election.
The Election Petition ruled that the Labour Party and Obi in their petition could not establish their assertion that INEC must electronically transfer presidential election results.
“Where the petitioners alleged that the winner of an election did not score the majority of the lawful votes cast, they must prove two sets of results.
“The one they alleged is the lawful results
“The one they are challenging,” the tribunal ruled.
The court also dismissed other petitions raised by the claimants.
