The allegations of forgery and conviction made against President Bola Tinubu by the Peoples Democratic Party and Atiku Abubakar, the party’s nominee for president in 2023, have been rejected by the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
When the court ruled on the respondents’ motion, it stated that even though the petitioners claimed that Tinubu did not meet the constitutional requirement to have run for office, they did not specify what that requirement was.
Moses Ugo, one of the five panelists, also struck out a few sentences where the petitioners claimed that the Kogi State Governor and a person named Friday Adejo, who was allegedly the local government chairman in Kogi State, had engaged in electoral fraud but had not been included as parties in the petition.
