BREAKING: Obi Failed To Specify How He Scored Majority Of Votes – Tribunal

The Presidential Election Petitions Court has ruled that the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, did not adequately outline how they obtained the majority of legitimate votes in the February 25 presidential election, Daily Trust reports.

In the lead judgment read by Justice Abba Bello Mohammed, said the political party made generic allegations of irregularities, suppression of votes and corrupt practices to rob them of their votes, especially in Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Taraba, Imo and Osun states but failed to specify the polling units affected.

Justice Mohammed further held that LP also failed to prove the allegations of overvoting against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and their actual reduced votes.

The court said although Peter Obi and LP claimed to have scored the majority of lawful votes cast, they failed to state the number of lawful votes they scored.

"The determination of election is about figures," the court held.#TheCableIndex #PEPTJudgement
