PETER OBI'S PETITION PARAGRAPH 10 READS: LP & Peter Obi, in accordance with the prevailing law, have the right to lodge this petition to the court constitutionally vested with the jurisdiction to receive and entertain election petitions in challenge to the proceedings at and at the outcome of the election to the office of the President of the FRN.
INEC’s RESPONSE: We admit paragraph 10 of the petition.
APC’s RESPONSE: We repeat and adopt paragraphs 3-7 hereof, and state that Peter Obi not being a member of LP does not possess the right to contest the presidential election held on 25th of February 2023, and thus not entitled to lodge this petition to challenge the outcome of the election.
TINUBU & SHETTIMA’S RESPONSE: Contrary to paragraphs 4, 5, 6, and 10, amongst other paragraphs of the petition alluding to the petitioners’ right to present this petition anchored on Peter Obi’s membership of LP to have validly contested the election, we insist that the petitioners have no right both under the constitution and the electoral Act, to present this petition.
