The petition contesting President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 election in Nigeria has been furthered by the submission of a brief of arguments by the Labour Party (LP) and its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the Supreme Court.
A leader of the party and actor named Kenneth Okonkwo revealed the development in a post on the X platform early on Tuesday morning.
He wrote: “To God be the glory, we have filed our Appellants’ Brief of Arguments at the Supreme Court of Nigeria. We still trust in God to see us through. Great kudos to all the members of the Presidential Petition Legal Team of @PeterObi. God will bless all of them.”

A portion of the paper, which Newsmen was able to read, states that the filing is an appeal against the Court of Appeal’s decision, which was made in the suit filed by Obi and the Labour Party against Tinubu’s victory and delivered on September 6, 2023.
The appeal is supported by the notice of appeal filed on September 19, 2023, which contained 51 reasons for appeal, it was added.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Senators Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Kashim Shettima, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are listed as respondents in the case.
