The Presidential Election Petitions Court has issued a ruling stating that the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, did not adequately specify how they garnered the majority of lawful votes in the February 25 presidential election.
Justice Abba Bello Mohammed, in the lead judgment, pointed out that the political party had made general allegations of irregularities, vote suppression, and corrupt practices that allegedly deprived them of votes, particularly in the states of Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Taraba, Imo, and Osun. However, they failed to specify the affected polling units.
