Tanko Yunusa, a senior member of the Labour Party (LP), has criticised the judgement by the Presidential Election Petitions Court upholding President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election.
On Politics Today on Channels Television, Yunusa expressed his reluctance.
He said that the Tribunal rejected every element of his party’s appeal that contested Tinubu’s election result on February 25, 2023.

In a marathon 12-hour decision on Wednesday, the Tribunal dismissed the petitions of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Atiku Abubakar, as well as the petitions of the Labour Party (LP) and Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate.
Yunusa discussed his thoughts on the decision and claimed that the Tribunal destroyed every element of his party’s petitions deliberately.
He wondered if the judges gave their verdict because they were angry with Obi and the LP
“We would have preferred the judgment to be fair to all concerned but if you look at this particular case in study, every aspect of the petition was trashed deliberately and was justified by all kinds of poor omission,” he stated.

“Then, does it mean that those judgments were made on this petitioner because the judges are angry?” Yunusa queried.
Atiku and Obi have both declared they will appeal the Tribunal’s decision from last Wednesday.
