Peter Obi’s spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, has announced that Peter Obi’s legal team is getting ready to file an appeal at the Supreme Court on Tuesday. Tanko also mentioned that there are no plans to change the members of the legal team.
Tanko and Kehinde Edun, the National Legal Adviser of LP, confirmed this information to reporters. They stated that the appeal has not been filed yet, but it will be done within the given time frame.
Tanko said, “I just confirmed that we have not filed the appeal. That will be done between now and Tuesday. We are also not seeking to engage or tweak our team of lawyers.”
Edun added, “We have not filed the appeal yet because we are still within the time frame. It will be done any moment from now. Our legal team is still intact. They are some of our best hands. There is no reason to change them since we do not doubt their capabilities.”
Peter Obi’s petitions challenging the victory of Bola Tinubu at the 2023 Presidential election were dismissed by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja.
Despite the tribunal’s decision, Peter Obi has vowed to challenge the judgement at the Supreme Court.
