Justice Abba Bello Mohammed, while delivering the lead judgment, said the Labour Party made generic allegations of irregularities, voter suppression and corrupt practices to deny the party of its votes, particularly in Rivers, Lagos, Imo, Benue, Osun and Taraba, but failed to mention the affected polling units.
In the proceedings, which were monitored by Legit.ng, the tribunal said the LP did not provide evidence of overvoting against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the number of votes that were actually reduced.
Peter Obi and the Labour Party have approached the tribunal with their petitions against the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.
On Wednesday, March 1, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared President Bola Tinubu as the clear winner of the 2023 presidential election, but the declaration was being contested by Peter Obi and his party, the Labour Party.
