The process that led to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declaring Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu winner of the February 25 presidential election, is to be challenged by Sir Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
Appearing on Arise TV on Monday, Obi claimed he was not interested in challenging the “outcome” of the election.
The former Governor of Anambra State insisted that he wanted to contest the process leading to INEC’s declaration of Tinubu as the president-elect.
Tweeted Obi: “Following my response to a question while appearing on Arise TV earlier today, I want to state categorically that at the Presidential Elections Tribunal (PET), I am challenging the INEC electoral process that led to the declaration of Tinubu as president-elect as well as the declaration itself”.
Tinubu was declared as the winner of the election on March 1.
Obi has since gone to court, alleging irregularities by the electoral commission.
Consequently, the Appeal Court granted leave to access all the sensitive materials used for the election.
