The Labour Party, LP, has rejected the judgments of the Presidential Election Petitions Court in the party’s petitions challenging the electoral victory of President Bola Tinubu.
The Tribunal on Wednesday described the petitions of the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as “unmeritorious”.
Mr Obi and Labour Party claimed that Mr Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was not duly elected during the February 25, 2023 poll.
Reacting to the judgement in a statement on Wednesday, Labour Party spokesman, Obiora Ifoh, said justice was not served in the petitions of the party against the APC and Mr Tinubu.
He also said the Labour Party will make its next move known upon consultation with its lawyers after receiving the Certified True Copy of the judgments.
The party said the judgment of the court “did not reflect the law and the desire of the people”.
“Nigerians were witnesses to the electoral robbery that took place on February 25, 2023, which was globally condemned but the Tribunal in its wisdom refused to accept the obvious,” the statement partly read.
“What is at stake is democracy and we will not relent until the people will prevail.
“We salute the doggedness of our team of lawyers who fearlessly exposed the wrath in our system. We can only weep for democracy in Nigeria but we refuse to give up on Nigeria.
“Details of the party’s position will be presented after consultation with our lawyers after the Certified True Copy of the judgment is made available to us.”
