However, the Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member panel refused to Lalong as Tinubu’s representative.

“You cannot represent an individual. Tinubu is not a corporation that would need a representative,” the presiding justice held.

The Governor in his response, said; “My Lords, in that case, I will represent the All Progressives Congress, APC.”

Daily Report Nigeria reports that the court adjourned pre-hearing the petition brought by Peter Obi and the Labour Party, seeking to nullify Tinubu’s victory.
