The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) has adjourned hearing on the petition filed by Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, until Wednesday, May 10.

On Monday, the Tribunal began examining petitions made by dissatisfied presidential candidates.

The chairman of PEPT, Justice Haruna Tsammani, had dismissed the suit of the Action Alliance (AA) brought against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s electoral victory in the February 25 presidential election.

The petition was withdrawn by the petitioner on Monday, and the Tribunal dismissed it.

Oba Maduabuchi, SAN, the petitioner’s counsel, withdrew the petition and asked the court to dismiss it.

The petition’s defendants did not object to the petitioner’s prayer.

As a result, the Tribunal denied the petition.
