President Bola Tinubu has reacted to the Supreme Court judgement which affirmed his election and dismissed the appeals of his opponents. The Supreme Court of Nigeria on Thursday affirmed the election of President Bola Tinubu, in the February 25 presidential election. The apex court affirmed Tinubu’s victory after it dismissed the appeals filed by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi respectively and the parties.
The Peoples Democratic Party has described the Supreme Court judgment as disappointing. The Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal affirming the victory of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission. The PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, had filed petitions challenging the victory of President Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election announced by the INEC on March 1.
