The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal has reserved judgment on the petition filed by the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, seeking nullification of the declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as winner of the February 25 presidential election.
Obi who came third in the election and his party had filed a joint petition in March challenging the outcome of the February 25 poll.
They are asking the court to nullify the victory of Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In their final written address dated July 20, the petitioners insisted that Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima were not qualified to contest the poll.
The petitioners had said Tinubu was not eligible to run for the office of president due to the forfeiture of $460,000 in the US and his failure to secure 25 percent of votes cast in the federal capital territory (FCT).
