The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed the petition filed by the Labour Party that the winner of the presidential election must secure 25% of the votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The tribunal chairman, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, in a ruling, said that there is no special status attached to the FCT and that it is equal to every other state in Nigeria.

According to the court, FCT residents have no special privileges as the petitioners claimed.
