Obi’s petition against Tinubu is incompetent, INEC tells court
The Independent National Electoral Commission has asked the presidential election petition tribunal to dismiss a petition filed by the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.challenging the victory of Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress , as the president-elect.
The petitioners asserted that the election was marred by rigging and manipulations adding that the INEC violated its own regulations when it announced the results when at the time of the announcement, the total polling unit results had yet to be fully scanned, uploaded, and transmitted electronically as required by the electoral act.
The commission prayed the court to either “dismiss or strike out the petition for being grossly incompetent, abusive, vague, nebulous, generic, general, non-specific, ambiguous, equivocal, hypothetical and academic”.The commission further discredited the petitioners over the claim that Tinubu was not elected by the majority of lawful votes cast.
