The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja has dismissed a petition filed by the Action Alliance (AA) challenging the victory of the president-elect and the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.
A five-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani dismissed the petition after counsel to the party Oba Maduabuchi applied to withdraw the case in the open court.
All the respondents in the matter did not object to the withdrawal of the petition and the tribunal promptly dismissed it.
Maduabuchi and another lawyer Malachy Nwaekpe announced their appearances for the AA claiming to have been instructed by different factions of the political party to withdraw the petition.
The party’s presidential candidate, David Okonigbuan had brought the petition against INEC, APC, Bola Tinubu and Hamza Al Mustapha challenging his exclusion from the election.
There are now four petitions left out in the legal battle against the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the presidential poll.
