The Presidential Election Petitions Court sitting in Abuja has declared that the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, failed to prove that President Bola Tinubu was convicted for money laundering in the United States.
The Labour Party and Obi are challenging the election of President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the court.
The five-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, while delivering judgement on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, ruled that no record of criminal arrest or conviction was established against Tinubu by the petitioners (LP and Obi).
The judge said Tinubu’s candidacy in the February 25, 2023, presidential election cannot be disqualified on the grounds of forfeiture of $460,000 said to be proceeds of drug trafficking in U.S.
