Some supporters of President Bola Tinubu, under the aegis of Niger Delta for Tinubu, have stormed the premises of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) in Abuja.

The pro-Tinubu supporters, dressed in branded black and red attire, arrived at the Court of Appeal premises around 7 a.m. on Wednesday, holding placards, singing, and dancing.

Inscriptions on the placards said, ‘Niger Deltans stand with the mandate given to BAT by over 200 million Nigerians’, ‘President Tinubu loves Niger Delta’, and ‘Thank you Tinubu for restoring the Niger Delta Ministry’.

Naija News reports that the supporters of the President, who are mostly youths, were led to the tribunal by a former militant and an ally of Presider Tinubu, Asari Dokubo.

The much-anticipated ruling of the tribunal on the outcome of the 2023 presidential election will be delivered today, Wednesday, 6th September 2023, by the panel of tribunal judges.

Apart from that, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) also challenged Tinubu’s victory.
