The Presidential election petition court has struck out Labour party’s Peter Obi’s petition that called for the disqualification of Tinubu on the grounds of forfeiture of $460,000 over drug case.
The court said the case which was in a US district court involving Tinubu in the state of Illinois was a civil matter and not a criminal one.
It therefore added that it is a civil forfeiture without conviction.
The court also contended that the labour party had failed to show evidence that Tinubu was arraigned, tried, fined and sentenced for any criminal offence.
