The Action People's Party has withdrawn its petition in the ongoing procedures contesting President-elect Bola Tinubu's election victory.
The counsel to the APP, Obed Agu, also asked the court to strike out and dismiss the suit. Agu stated that he was working on his client's directions.
Wole Olanipekun, Tinubu's counsel, responded by saying that he and his client are not opposing the withdrawal application and are not seeking costs.
Remember that the APP was challenging the Presidential Election on the basis of alleged non-compliance with electoral laws and INEC guidelines.
Following the dismissal, the court rose and will reconvene at 2pm for the Labour Party’s suit.
