The petition brought by Peter Obi, a candidate for the Labour Party (LP), contesting President Bola Tinubu’s victory, has been postponed by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).
According to news sources, the court’s five-member panel postponed the hearing to Wednesday, May 31st, after hearing from the parties involved on Tuesday.
You may recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) proclaimed Tinubu, who ran on the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket, the victor of the election on February 25.

Obi, however, contested the election’s results and entered court with a promise to retrieve his “stolen mandate.”
Tuesday, at the case’s resumed hearing, Obi and the Labour Party called their first witness in the lawsuit contesting President Bola Tinubu’s election victory on February 25.
As Obi and LP began their trial today, their claim that Tinubu is ineligible for office due to the double nomination of his vice, Kashim Shettima, and the purported drug trafficking conviction in the United States forms the basis of their argument.
