Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi has made a U-turn, saying he is challenging in court the declaration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as president-elect by INEC.
Obi had earlier on Monday, in an interview on Arise TV, said he was only challenging the process of the election in court and not the outcome.
According to Obi, “I’m not challenging who they declared, I’m not challenging whatever…the outcome, I’m challenging the process (through) which they arrived at their declaration.
“And unless we do that, we’re not going to stop the rascality we witnessed in that election.
“Following my response to a question while appearing on Arise TV earlier today, I want to state categorically that at the Presidential Elections Tribunal(PET), I am challenging the INEC electoral process that led to the declaration of Tinubu as president-elect as well as the Declaration itself,” he tweeted.
