Supreme Court upholds Tinubu’s election victory

BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the election of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as winner of 2023 Presidential Election.

Justice Inyang Okoro delivered the lead judgement of the Supreme Court, amidst tight security.

The Supreme Court in the lead judgement delivered by Justice Okoro dismissed the appeals filed by Peter Obi of the Labour and the Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Supreme Court said the failure by the Independent National Electoral Commission 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.

Okoro in the lead judgement also dismissed the issue of the 25 per cent requirement for Abuja, as a none issue.
