Court reserves judgment on Peter Obi's petition against Tinubu
Recall that Peter Obi was the second runner-up in the 2023 presidential election. Still, he and his party had filed a joint petition before the petition court to challenge the outcome of the February poll.
Obi and his party are asking the court to nullify the victory of Bola Tinubu and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the election.
On Tuesday, Obi, Labour Party and the respondents adopted their final written addresses.
The court has subsequently reserved its judgment, adding that the date of its decision would be communicated to the petitioners and their respondents.
