APP withdraws petition challenging Tinubu, APC, INEC
The Action Peoples Party (APP) has applied to withdraw its petition challenging the victory of president -elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the 2023 General Elections.
The Counsel to APP, Obed Agu, is also asking the court to strike out and dismiss the suit challenging Tinubu’s victory at the 25th February presidential election.
Counsel to Tinubu, Wole Olanipekun, SAN, did not oppose the withdrawal when he said he was not opposed to APP’s application to withdraw the petition.
“We want to commend them, with the hope that more will still come. My Lords, we are not asking for cost,” Olanipenkun, SAN, added.
Similarly, lead counsel for the APC, Prince Lateef Fagemi, SAN, who did not also oppose the application, urged those whose petitions against the outcome of the presidential election are still pending before the court to emulate the APP.
He said: “We commend the petitioners for doing the right thing. Let those who have not done so, do so immediately.
