INEC illegally declared Tinubu as President-elect, Obi won - Afenifere alleges

The Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere, has insisted that the Labour Party flagbearer, Peter Obi won the Saturday, February 25, presidential election, not the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

On Tuesday, March 7, Afenifere said that the decision of Obi to challenge the results of the election in court has been backed by the group.

This was contained in a communique issued after its special general meeting, held, at Isanya-Ogbo, Ogun State, on Tuesday, a report by Vanguard confirmed.

”The General Meeting hereby denounces in strong terms and dissociates Afenifere from any congratulatory message in the name of the Organisation or howsoever to any candidate as illegally declared by the INEC."

Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party in the recently concluded presidential election, has filed a fresh application to inspect, in person, the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), used during the poll.

The application with the number CA/PEC/09m/23 was filed at the Appeal Court in Abuja on Wednesday, March 8.

In the application, Obi and Labour Party are asking the court to allow them to inspect the BVAS and other sensitive materials used by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
