ABUJA–The Action Alliance, AA, has withdrawn its petition against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and President-elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The party filed an application to end further proceedings in the case on Monday, just after the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, began its pre-hearing session, through a team of lawyers led by Mr. Oba Maduabuchi, SAN.
According to Oba, SAN, the petitioners submitted a withdrawal notice on May 3.
Meanwhile, the five-member panel chaired by Justice Haruna Tsammani dismissed the petition after all respondents filed no objections.
Specifically, in the petition designated CA/PEPC/01/2023, which it submitted on March 16, AA claimed that, while its candidate, Solomon Okanigbuan, was validly nominated to run in the presidential election, he was however unlawfully excluded by INEC.
