The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has notified the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, that a suit filed by Peter Obi of the Labour Party should be dismissed because the reliefs sought are not grantable.
Nigeria’s electoral agency, INEC, announced this on Monday at the PEPC Secretariat in Abuja by its counsel, Abubakar Mahmoud, SAN.
The Commission requested that the Court “dismiss or strike out the claim because it was hazy, generic, profoundly incompetent, abusive, vague, broad, non-specific, unclear, equivocal, hypothetical, and academic.”
Peter Obi Presents Fresh Request To Court Over PDP’s Suit To Disqualify Him
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Peter Obi, the first petitioner, and LP, the second petitioner, had sued INEC, Bola Tinubu, Kashim Shettima, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the first to fourth respondents.
The petitioners are seeking the annulment of Tinubu and Shettima’s presidential election victories on February 25.
In a separate appeal, Atiku Abubakar and the PDP also challenged the election results.
However, INEC disagreed with the petitioners, claiming that they were not represented in many or all of the country’s polling units.
