Peter Obi has gone to court. The former Anambra governor and the Labour Party presidential candidate in the February 25 election is asking the Court of Appeal in Abuja to remove the INEC-declared president elect Bola Tinubu and declare himself , Peter Obi, as the president- elect or mandate INEC to cancel the entire election and conduct a new one. Besides, Obi, in his petition at the appellate court, which is serving as the court of first instance as the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), also raised the contentious issue of the requirement that a candidate must obtain the 25 per cent votes in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja in order to emerge as winner of the presidential election . The petitioner also said that Tinubu at the time of the election was not even qualified to contest the election in the first place. Obi subsequently prayed the tribunal to determine that all the votes recorded for Tinubu in the election were wasted votes, owing to the non-qualification of the president-elect and Shettima.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s former AGF Aondoakaa, Insists Tinubu Must Score 25% in FCT to Be Declared Winner. “The Constitution says you must get 25 per cent in 24 states, and in FCT, Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not score 25 per cent in the FCT, and since he didn’t score 25 per cent in the FCT, he should not have been declared president as INEC wrongly did,” he said. “It’s a very difficult situation, but the matter has been interpreted before, around 2008, in a matter involving the current President,” Aondoakaa said, adding that “the pronouncement then was that the ‘and’ is used conjunctively; that was the interpretation then.

ubest1: And to make it more controversial, it was previously ruled and decided in 2008, according to Aondoakaa, who was Nigeria's justice minister at that time. Which way Naija! |

That is the answer we are all waiting for Obi to answer. At least he has admitted that Tinubu won but he is just saying he is afraid to contest with Tinubu Sundaland: |

If that's part of the petition, the Obi's team is not even good at what they do. In fact, that statement is laughable. Obi should be telling the tribunal how he got lots of votes but wasn't published on the iRev. That FCT nonsense makes no legal sense. |
