Former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi , has once again raised alarm over the growing insecurity and loss of lives across Nigeria. His comments come shortly after the United States government placed Nigeria on its list of Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) —a designation reserved for nations where severe violations of human rights and religious freedom occur. In a strongly worded statement reported by Sahara Reporters on Monday, November 3, 2025 , Obi said Nigeria is currently facing one of the most troubling periods in its history, with “an unprecedented level of insecurity, shocking loss of lives, and destruction of property.” According to him, the crisis has worsened since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office in May 2023 . A Bleak Picture of Insecurity Peter Obi pointed to data reportedly compiled by Amnesty International and other independent watchdogs, which estimate that over 10,000 Nigerians have been killed in vio...

Atiku wins as court upholds consolidation of petitions against Tinubu’s election

-

 


The Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC has upheld the position of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Atiku Abubakar on the consolidation of the three petitions challenging the qualifications and declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election.

The Court in the pre-hearing session report presented on Tuesday by Justice Stephen Jonah Ada announced the consolidation of the three petitions instituted by Atiku, Peter Obi of the Labour Party LP and the Allied People’s Movement APM.

The Court agreed with Atiku’s lawyers that given the time-bound nature of the petitions, especially for expeditious hearing purposes, it was proper and appropriate to merge them in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.

Justice Ada while announcing the consolidation said the Court took the decision because the three petitions are related to the same election and same declaration of results.

Tinubu had vehemently opposed the consolidation move on the ground that the interest of justice would not be met.

But Atiku and PDP who saw the objection to consolidation as a ploy to delay quick disposal of the three petitions, had prayed the Court to adopt the move to be able to do substantial justice to their respective grievances against Tinubu’s election.

Meanwhile, the Court has given Atiku and PDP three weeks within which to argue their complaints against the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC on the alleged irregularities in the conduct of the presidential election.

They are also to, within the period present their objections against the qualifications of Tinubu for the election and his subsequent return as winner of the 2023 presidential poll.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Court, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani has fixed May 30 for a full blown hearing of the three petitions.
