BREAKING: Labour Party Heads To Another Court After Supreme Court Judgement (DETAILS)
Yunusa Tanko, the spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, expressed disappointment that the Supreme Court did not heed the numerous appeals put forth by the party.
In a session held in Abuja on Thursday, the apex court rejected the petitions submitted by the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his counterpart from the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.

Reacting to the judgment, Tanko, who spoke with The Punch on Thursday, said, “As far as we are concerned, we have brought out our cases beyond reasonable doubt, but the court chose to look at the other side and turn a deaf ear to our plea. And they have taken their decision.
“As democrats, we will not do anything otherwise but rather resort to the masses’ court — the public and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They can analyse this judgment vis-a-vis what they are facing at the moment and what’s the credibility of the leadership already enthroned.”

Tanko added, “We’ll continue to be law-abiding and follow the dictates of democracy. Don’t forget that democracy also gives room for people to speak on issues if they feel they are being offended. So we have done our bit and we will leave this particular issue now to the masses’ court.”
He maintained that the party called for Tinubu’s disqualification due to their conviction that he did not meet the qualifications to run for the election.
He added, “Also, we made a plea as regards the interpretation of the 25 per cent qualification of the Federal Capital Territory.
“We also made a plea as regards the issue of the processes in which INEC followed according to the Electoral Act which all fell on deaf ears.”
The spokesperson further mentioned that Obi will announce his political prospects in the near future.
