One of their placards reads
"Declare Peter Obi as the president, and let us have peace."
Obi, who came third in the election based on the results uploaded by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is challenging the poll's outcome in 21 states, including 11 states where he won.
The INEC has declared Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election, stating that he had satisfied the requirement of the law and, therefore, returned as the winner of the poll.
Atiku also claims he won the election
Like Obi, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election, claimed he was the poll's actual winner.
Atiku and Obi are contesting the victory of Tinubu, who was declared the winner of the election by INEC.
While the court proceedings were ongoing, Peter Obi and the Labour Party supporters asked the court to declare their candidate as the winner of the 2023 presidential election.
Meanwhile, the court has dismissed many of the allegations Peter Obi made in his petitions over lack of evidence to push his case before the court.
