The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has thrown out about 17 paragraphs from Peter Obi’s and the Labour Party’s petition.
The paragraphs were knocked down by the court because they contained “vague and generic allegations.”
A member of the tribunal’s five-member panel, Justice Abba Mohammed, read the lead judgment.
Obi and LP are complainants in the petition CA/PEPC/03/2023, which challenges Tinubu’s election victory on May 29.
The petitioners made allegations of irregularities and said they would rely on spreadsheets, inspection reports and forensic analysis filed with the petition during the trial.
But in his lead judgement, Mohammed held that the petitioners failed to show which polling units the malpractices alleged occurred; the number of votes affected; and their polling unit agents who reported the alleged irregularities, and malpractices, among others.
