The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, are conspicuously absent in court as the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) delivers the final judgement in their petitions today.
Recall that Peter Obi and Atiku are challenging the declaration of Bola Tinubu as the President in the last election.
The Labour Party was represented by the national chairman, Julius Abure and the Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, was also seen in court.
Tribunal members led by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani have arrived to deliver judgment on the three petitions and ordered that judgment in the petition of Peter Obi and the Labour Party be first delivered.
However, at the time of this report, it is uncertain why Atiku and Peter Obi were absent in court.
