Labour Party Boasts, Says Supreme Court Will Sack Tinubu And Declare Peter Obi As President Tomorrow |Omohglobalnews

                  Peter Obi and Tinubu

Labour Party has expressed confidence that tomorrow’s Supreme Court judgement would be in its favour.

The party disclosed this through its national legal officer, Kehinde Edun on Wednesday, October 25, 2023.

Edun noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be sacked and its presidential candidate in the February 25, 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi would be declared winner.

In his words: “We are expecting victory because that is what justice demands; that is what Nigerians want. We will not lose hope. We have presented our case before the court.

“We are confident of victory for the Labour Party and Nigerians. We know that there will be jubilation everywhere in Nigeria.”

Recall that the Supreme Court had fixed tomorrow, Thursday, to deliver the judgment it reserved on the two appeals that are seeking to nullify the election of President Tinubu.

Atiku and Obi are challenging the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was the valid winner of the presidential election held on February 25.

At its last sitting on Monday, the apex court reserved judgement filed by Atiku and the PDP against the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court which affirmed Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential poll.

A seven-member panel of the court, led by Justice Inyang Okoro announced this on Monday after counsels to parties adopted their briefs of argument and made final submissions.

The apex court also took arguments from lawyers to parties on the motion filed by Atiku to supply fresh evidence on forged documents.

Counsel to Atiku Abubakar, Mister Chris Uche, urged the court to grant the motion and allow their appeal, grant the prayers sought, and disqualify Tinubu.

Counsel to the Respondents, Abubakar Mahmoud for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Wole Olanipekun for President Tinubu, and Akin Olujinmi for the All Progressives Congress (APC) urged the court to dismiss both the motion and appeal for lacking in merit.
