The presidential candidates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) are anticipated to lose their case before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, according to Adewole Adebayo, the presidential candidate for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 general election.

Public Republic can report that Adebayo took to his Twitter account to express his views on the matter.

He said that although Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, Peter Obi, a former running mate of his, and the Labour Party had made their cases before the Election Tribunal, he didn’t think their work had significantly advanced the cause of justice. Even though the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) defence was feeble or nonexistent, Adebayo said that their case suffered from non-issues, a lack of proof, and an expected loss.

He stated:

As @atiku @OfficialPDPNig @PeterObi @NgLabour closed at Election Tribunal, it is fair to say that they have added new points to our jurisprudence but nothing to the course of justice: (a) non-issues (b)no evidence and (c) sure to lose even with a weak or no defence by @inecnigeria.

Does the inevitable dismissal of these petitions mean the end of the duty incumbent on the Nigerian political class to reach a solid consensus that the electorate of Nigeria deserves a clean, clear and credible election devoid of trauma and angst? I don’t think so. We must meet.
