Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, has clarified his case before the Presidential Election Tribunal saying he is challenging the process leading to the declaration of Bola Tinubu as the president-elect.
Obi spoke on an Arise TV program on Monday and reiterated that “at the Presidential Elections Tribunal(PET), I am challenging the INEC electoral process that led to the declaration of Tinubu as president-elect.”
Last month, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the presidential election held on February 25.
Obi resorted to challenging the result in court, alleging irregularities by the electoral commission.
Consequently, the court of appeal granted leave to Obi to have access to all the sensitive materials used by INEC for the election. But, On Saturday, LP accused INEC of not allowing Obi’s lawyers access to the materials despite the court ruling.
Speaking in a chat with Arise TV on Monday, Obi said he is not interested in challenging the “outcome” of the election.
He said INEC, as a public institution, should always submit itself to scrutiny from Nigerians.
