A lawsuit filed by the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, to disqualify Peter Obi, the candidate for president of the Labour Party, LP, was denied by the Abuja Appeal Court.
The appeal was rejected by the sitting judge, Justice Monica Dongban Mensan, on the grounds that it lacked substance and that APM lacked the legal authority to file the lawsuit.
Additionally, the court granted an amount of N200,000 against APM in favor of the LP and Peter Obi, the second and third respondents.
Obi is in the race alongside top contenders like Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
