The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by Atiku Abubakar and his People’s Democratic Party (PDP) against the September 6 judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), affirming the election of President Bola Tinubu.

Justice John Okoro in a unanimous judgment of the apex court upheld the judgment of the PEPC and proceeded to affirm Tinubu’s victory.

In the lead judgment read by Justice John Okoro, which has so far been supported by Justices Uwani Abba-Aji and Mohammed Garba Lawal, the court resolved all the seven issues identified for determination against the appellants.
