PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TRIBUNAL BEGINS PRE-HEARING

Action Alliance (AA) has withdrawn its petition against the victory of Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the presidential election.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.

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.
