PEPT 2023: Labour Party Blows Hot; Rejects Tribunal Judgement

Labour Party, LP revealed it has rejected the ruling of the Presidential Tribunal which was held today in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

This was conveyed in a statement issued out by the party’s national secretary, Obiorah Ifoh, dated on 6th of September, 2023 following the ruling out of some cases against the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress, APC in the Presidential election that was held on the 25th of February, 2023.

The statement reads,

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FROM LABOUR PARTY NIGERIA:

LABOUR PARTY REJECTS THE PEPC JUDGEMENT

The Labour Party watched with dismay and trepidation the dismissal of petitions by the five-man panel of the Presidential Election Petition Court led by Justice Haruna Tsammani today and we reject the outcome of the judgment in its entirety because justice was not served and it did not reflect the law and the desire of the people.

Nigerians were witnesses to the electoral robbery that took place on February 25, 2023, which was globally condemned but the Tribunal in its wisdom refused to accept the obvious. What is at stake is democracy and we will not relent until the people will prevail.

We salute the doggedness of our team of lawyers who fearlessly exposed the wrath in our system. We can only weep for democracy in Nigeria but we refuse to give up on Nigeria.

Details of the party’s position will be presented after consultation with our lawyers after the Certified True Copy of the judgement is made available to us.

We urge all lovers of democracy to remain focused and hopeful because a new Nigeria is possible.

SIGNED:

Obiora Ifoh
National Publicity Secretary
