As reported by Daily Trust, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Obiora Ifoh, said:

“We are optimistic that the judgement would be in our favour and that all our prayers to the tribunal would be positive.”

The party's presidential bannerman, Obi, is calling for the disqualification of President Bola Tinubu from the last election and the cancellation of the election on the premise that the electoral process was flooded with violence and fraud.

Obi is also seeking the conduct of a fresh election due to the alleged irregularities and electoral fraud that transpired during the keenly contested presidential polls in February.

In one of his prayers to the tribunal, the former Anambra State governor claims that he was the only presidential candidate with the majority legal votes cast by the electorates.
