The Action Peoples Party (APP) has withdrawn the petition it filed to nullify the declaration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the 2023 presidential election.

The party, at the resumed proceedings before the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting in Abuja, announced its decision to terminate further hearing on its petition.

Counsel to the party, Obed Agu, told a five-member panel of the court that was set to hear the matter, that the withdrawal notice, which was filed on the 9th of May, was predicated on Paragraph 29 (1) (2) and (3) of the Schedule for Election Petitions.
