LABOUR PARTY (LP)’s Chieftain, Tanko Yunusa, on Thursday, criticized the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) that dismissed the petition of LP and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) against the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the February 25 Presidential election.
Yunusa made his grievance known while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday.
He noted how the tribunal, on Wednesday, ruled out every part of LP’s petition for one reason or the other.
In all, the petitions of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM); Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar; and that of the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, were all thrown out by Tribunal.
“We would have preferred the judgment to be fair to all concerned but if you look at this particular case in study, every aspect of the petition was trashed deliberately and was justified by all kinds of poor omission,” he stated.
“Then, does it mean that those judgments were made on this petitioner because the judges are angry?” Yunusa wondered.
However, the case does not look like a forgone conclusion as Atiku and Obi look set to take their petitions to the Supreme Court.
