With Thursday’s judgment of the Supreme Court affirming the electoral victory of President Bola Tinubu, the Labour Party (LP) claimed the legislative and judicial arms of government have been hijacked by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
At a press briefing hours after the apex court dismissed the appeals by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar; and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi; Labour Party’s Chairman, Julius Abure; said the party was disappointed but have decided to charge on and remain optimistic for what the future holds for the nation.
RoyalTimes recalled that a seven-judge panel led by Justice John Iyang Okoro ruled the opposition appeals over claims of fraud, electoral law violations, and Tinubu’s ineligibility to run for president lack merit.
According to Abure, what happened from the day of the 2023 presidential election to now showed that the nation was sliding towards dictatorship.
