Just In : Tribunal Dismisses Another Petition Against Tinubu (DETAILS)
The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja on Wednesday dismissed the petition of the Action People’s Party challenging the declaration of Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election and subsequent declaration as the ‘president-elect’.
The dismissal of the petition followed an application by the party to withdraw its petition challenging the outcome of the election.
Counsel for the party, Obed Agu, disclosed this during Wednesday’s proceedings.
In view of the application, the presiding judge of the Presidential Election Petition Court, Justice Tsammani, in a brief ruling dismissed the suit.
Following the dismissal, the court will reconvene at 2 pm for the hearing of the Labour Party’s suit challenging Tinubu’s victory in the presidential election.
Similarly, on Monday, the tribunal struck out the petition by the Action Alliance (AA) challenging the declaration of Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the February 25 presidential election.
The AA earlier withdrew its petition at the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting in Abuja, prompting the dismissal.
No reason was given for the withdrawal.
