The Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Monday, again accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of frustrating its petition challenging the result of the February 25 presidential election.
Meanwhile, the court has fixed June 21 for the Allied Peoples Movement to open its case challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential poll, in which Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress was declared winner.
Olanipekun had referenced the Supreme Court’s decision of Friday, May 26, that dismissed the suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party which prayed the court to nullify the ticket that produced Tinubu and Vice President Kassim Shettima, on the grounds of double nomination. Ijiagbonya said upon perusal of the Supreme Court judgment that Olanipekun spoke of, he and his legal team believed it had not vitiated their case before the election tribunal.
The Chairman of the five-man panel, Justice Haruna Tsammani, who held that the party could not be shut out for sake of fair hearing, adjourned the APC matter till Wednesday.
