Obi in a fifty one grounds notice of appeal by his lead counsel, Livy Uzoukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, challenged the decision of the presidential election tribunal.
In his notice of appeal, OBI said the Presidential Election Petitions Court erred in law and thereby reached a wrong conclusion when it dismissed the petition he lodged to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.
He maintained that the five-member panel of the Tribunal led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, carried out a miscarriage of justice against him, when it held that he did not specify polling units where irregularities occurred during the election.
