In a decisive ruling, the Supreme Court has upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election. The apex court’s judgment marks the conclusion of a legal battle that ensued after the election.
The Supreme Court’s decision, delivered on Thursday, effectively dismissed the appeals brought by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart from the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
The legal challenge, brought forward by Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, sought to contest the presidential election’s outcome, raising various concerns and issues. However, the Supreme Court’s verdict has ended their legal pursuit in this matter.
