This followed after President Tinubu asked the presidential election tribunal to throw out the petition filed by LP seeking to nullify his victory in the 2023 general elections, on the grounds that he did not secure twenty five per cent of votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory.
Tinubu, through his counsel, Wole Olanipekun, in a final written address to the tribunal, claimed the FCT is the 37th state for electoral purposes.
However, in reaction, the LP in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said Tinubu’s remarks were unnecessary since the matter is before the court.
