The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has dismissed the three petitons brought against the election of President Bola Tinubu. The petitions were brought by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP); and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Justice Haruna Tsammani, in the lead judgment, affirmed the declaration and return of Tinubu as the winner of the election having scored the highest lawful votes.
He held that none of the three sets of petitioners was able to prove their allegations as contained in the petitions. Two other members of the court’s five-member panel, Justices Stephen Adah and Monsurat Bolaji-Yusuf have also agreed with the lead judgment. Justice Bolaji-Yusuf is about rounding off her contribution.
The other two members are yet to render their contributions.
