The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 General Election, as the President of Nigeria.
NewsBreakNaija reports that Justice Inyang Okoro delivered the lead judgement of the Supreme Court on Thursday.
The Supreme Court in the lead judgement delivered by Justice Okoro dismissed the appeal filed by Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Atiku had sought to nullify the February 25 presidential election.
However, the Supreme Court held that he did not present evidence to show he won the election.
The Supreme Court also ruled that the failure by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to transmit election results electronically did not affect the outcome of the election and could not warrant the nullification of the result of the presidential election.
