Tribunal: Obi failed to specify how he scored the majority of votes

In an ongoing judgment, the Presidential Election Petitions Court on Wednesday held that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and his party failed to specify how they scored the majority of lawful votes in the February 25 presidential election.

According to Justice Abba Bello Mohammed, the political party made generic allegations of irregularities, suppression of votes and corrupt practices to rob them of their voices, especially in Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Taraba, Imo and Osun states. Still, it failed to specify the polling units affected while further holding that Lwas could not prove the allegations of overvoting against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and their reduced votes.
