In response to the recent decision by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja, the Labour Party, led by Lamidi Apapa, has issued a statement.
It’s important to recall that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the current president of Nigeria, secured victory in the nation’s highest political office, as confirmed by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Tinubu emerged victorious over other prominent candidates, including Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

However, Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party contested Tinubu’s win before the Presidential Election Tribunal in Abuja. The tribunal, in its decision, dismissed their claims.
Abayomi Arabambi, the spokesperson for the faction, expressed his thoughts in an interview with The Punch monitored by Quest Times.
He stated, “The majority of our agents left with the result sheets from the polling units when the party failed to provide them with the promised stipend of N10,000.”
He further explained, “Right from the start, none of our polling agents received payment. I had cautioned Nigerians that this issue might arise after the election. My agents did not receive any compensation.
Out of the 130,000 voting places where we had agents, only 130,000 reports were submitted to INEC. The rest were not uploaded. None of our agents submitted their voting unit results to Peter Obi. We owe each of them N10,000.”
