SUPREME COURT RESERVES JUDGEMENT IN APPEAL BY ATIKU/PDP
Read Time:47 Second
The Supreme Court has reserved judgement in the appeal by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the September 6 judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), which affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the last presidential election.
A seven-member panel of the court, led by Justice John Okoro, made the announcement after lawyers for the parties adopted their briefs of argument and made final submissions.
The court also took arguments from lawyers for parties on the motion filed by the appellants to supply fresh evidence.
Chris Uche (SAN), the appellants’ attorney, implored the court to grant the motion, accept their appeal, grant the requested requests, and disqualify Tinubu.
Lawyers for the respondent parties, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN (for Tinubu), Chief Akin Olujinmi, SAN (for the All Progressives Congress), and Abubakar Mahmoud, SAN (for the Independent National Electoral Commission), requested the court dismiss the application and appeal for lack of merit.
