The LP had raised issues of NYSC certificate forgery, over-voting and bypass of BVAS against the PDP candidate, Peter Mbah.

But the tribunal struck out the petitions and maintained that Mbah was duly elected.

However, LP said it will challenge the tribunal ruling at the Appeal Court.

According to the party, justice was miscarried at the tribunal, adding that the judgement cannot stand.

“We are worried about the level of degeneration in our judiciary where ridiculous rulings are frequently churned out from the hallowed temple of justice,” the party said in a statement signed by its National Chairman, Barr Julius Abure.

“Our case before the tribunal was a clear case of electoral robbery,” it said.
