President-elect, Bola Tinubu, is challenging the right of the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi, to fault his victory at the February 25 presidential election.

In his response to the petition by Obi and the Labour Party, he argued that the former Anambra State government was not a lawful member of the LP as of the time he contested on the party’s platform, and lacks the locus standi to challenge the outcome of the exercise.

He queried the competence of Obi’s petition and prayed the court to dismiss it.

His team of lawyers led by Wole Olanikpekun added that as at six days before the primary election of the Labour Party – Obi was still a card-carrying member of the PDP and he did not resign his membership of the said party – until 24th May 2022.
