#PEPT: Court dismisses Peter Obi lawsuit on Election Rigging

 

  The  Presidential Election  Petitions  Court (PEPC) has dismissed  claims  by the  Labor  Party and its  candidate  Peter  Obi  that the 2023 presidential  election, was  rigged in favor of  President Bola  Ahmed Tinubu.  

 

  Judge Abba Mohammed's  ruling  said  Obi and  Labor failed to  provide credible evidence  that the election was rigged  and failed to substantiate their claims. 

 

 The court found that Obi and LP claimed election fraud was conducted at 18,088  polling  stations nationwide, but could not provide  specific details  about  where the alleged  fraud  took place. 

 

  The group said various  parts of the  petition, including  the  allegations,  were "vague,  inaccurate, vague  and  lack concrete material."
