Barely 24 hours for judgment in the appeals by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidates of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP), challenging the February 25 presidential election which produced President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the Supreme Court, the Labour Party has expressed confidence that the judgement would be in its favour.
The party disclosed this through its national legal officer, Kehinde Edun, while noting that its presidential candidate in the February 25, 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi, would be declared winner.
In his words: “We are expecting victory because that is what justice demands; that is what Nigerians want. We will not lose hope. We have presented our case before the court.
“We are confident of victory for the Labour Party and Nigerians. We know that there will be jubilation everywhere in Nigeria.”
The Informant247 reports that the Supreme Court, through Dr Festus Akande, the Director of Information of the apex court on Wednesday, announced October 26 (Tomorrow) for judgment in the appeals by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidates of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP), challenging February 25 presidential election which produced President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It would be recalled that both PDP and LP had on Monday argued their cases before the apex court while the appeal of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and its presidential candidate, Chichi Ojei, was dismissed after they withdrew it.
The Presidential Election Petitions Court had on September 6 dismissed both parties’ petitions for lack of evidence, but Obi and Atiku filed appeals.
