Peter Obi should be fined for wasting Nigerians time at presidential election tribunal - APC Party Supporters

This is a waste of Nigeria’s scarce resources.

Supporter of the ruling All Progressive Congress APC have called on the judiciary to place a fine on mr. peter obi for wasting Nigeria’s time at the ongoing presidential election tribunal.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on March 1, four days after the presidential election held on February 25, announced Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election and president-elect.

According to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Tinubu polled 8,794,726 votes to beat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who came second with 6,984,520, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who placed third with 6,101,533.

On March 21, 2023, Obi approached the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal with a petition to challenge Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential election.

He alleged that the election was characterised by irregularities, ranging from rigging to manipulation of election results, intimidation and suppression of voters, destruction of ballot boxes and papers, and thuggery among others, including claims that Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, were not qualified to contest the election in the first instance.

Supporters of the APC at the presidential election tribunal alleged that so far Mr. Obi has been unable to present tangible evidence to support his prayers and hence a complete waste of tax payers money. Mr Obi should be fined heavily for distracting the ruling party from important business of governance.
