The Action Alliance (AA) has withdrawn its petition against
the victory of Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in
the presidential election.
The party announced its withdrawal at the pre-hearing
session of the presidential election tribunal on Monday.
Oba Maduabuchi, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), heads
the legal team of the party.
Prior to the announcement of the withdrawal, another lawyer
had announced himself as the representative of the AA.
He said the party wants the petition struck out because it
did not consent to the action.
But Maduabuchi insisted that he filed the petition on behalf
of the 1st and 2nd petitioners.
Subsequently, Maduabuchi formally applied to withdraw the
petition of the party.
After declaring the intention of the Action Alliance, none
of the representatives of the other parties expressed opposition to the move.
The panel consequently ruled that “in the absence of any
objection from the respondents, the application is hereby granted.
Consequently, the petition is hereby dismissed”.
The main ground of AA’s petition was the claim of wrongful
exclusion of David Okanigbuan, the party’s candidate, by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC).
You have done well. We can not do anything against the will of GOD than to support it
