Obi, Lalong Present As Presidential Election Tribunal Begins Pre-Hearing

Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi was at the pre-hearing of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja on Monday.

Also present in court was the governor of Plateau State, Mr Simon Lalong, who was also present to observe the proceedings of the day.

The tribunal will be hearing petitions challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress polled 8,794,726 votes to win the election. While Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party came second with 6,984,520 votes, and Peter Obi was third with 6,101,533 votes.

Not satisfied with the outcome, Atiku and Obi approached the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal to annul Tinubu’s victory.

Justice Tsammani maintained the panel will do justice to the case and advised the lawyers against making sensational comments.

He also asked for their cooperation since the case is time bound and they should be wary of bringing unnecessary applications that will waste the time of the court.
