The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal ruled on Wednesday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) lacks the locus standi to challenge Peter Obi’s membership of the Labour Party (LP).
The APC and President Bola Tinubu had in their petitions argued that Obi’s name was not contained in the list of LP members forwarded to INEC on April 25, 2022, and breached Section 77 of the Electoral Act, 2022.
However, in the lead judgment on the objections by the APC against the petitions of Obi and the LP, Justice Abba Mohammed said the matter was solely an internal affair of the political party.
