If there’s going to be a rerun election, it should be between Atiku and I — Pres. Tinubu tells Court
President Bola Tinubu has appealed to justices of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja to exclude the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, and his party in the event of any rerun of the presidential election, upholding that only him and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, are constitutionally qualified to re-contest.
Pres. Tinubu argued that if the justices void the February 25, 2023, presidential election, Obi & his party will not be qualified to re-contest.

But Obi urged the five-member panel of the PEPC not to subvert the will of the people as expressed in the February 25 presidential election, stressing that they should sack Tinubu without further delay.
President Tinubu’s submissions were contained in his final written address in response to the petition of Obi & the LP challenging his declaration as president.
