Tribunal: Buhari’s Aide Reacts As Party Withdraws Petition Against Tinubu

The special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on digital communications, Bashir Ahmad has reacted to the decision of the Action Alliance (AA) to withdraw its petition against the victory of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Naija News recalls on Monday, April 8, 2023, Action Alliance (AA) announced the withdrawal of its petition against the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the 2023 presidential election.

AA did not give full details on the reason for withdrawing its suit.

Announcing the withdrawal of the petition, the leader of the party’s legal team, Oba Maduabuchi (SAN), said the action followed the decision of his client not to continue with the case.
