PDP predicts what will happen if court sacks President Tinubu

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed what will happen if the February 25, 2023 election victory of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is nullified by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).

The PDP noted that Nigerians will take to the streets in jubilation if the courts nullify the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 election.

Daily Trust reported that Pedro Obaseki, director of strategy and research of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), made this assertion in Abuja on Wednesday, July 19, 2023.

Obaseki, who addressed the press ahead of the judgement by the tribunal, also expressed confidence that the PDP believed in the ability of the judiciary to deliver a fair judgement that will be acceptable to the parties concerned, The Guardian reported.

He also said because of the mounting evidence in their possession, the Tribunal judges will summon the courage to address issues raised, adding that the image of the country is at stake a development he said the judges will not take lightly.

In another development, the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been accused of failing to prove that he scored the highest vote in the 2023 presidential polls in February despite finishing in third place behind former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, respectively.

This argument was raised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the presidential elections tribunal.

Obi, who is at loggerheads with INEC and President Tinubu at the tribunal, has tendered several petitions to declare him the presidential poll winner.
