S’Court delivers judgment today in Atiku, Obi’s appeal against Tinubu

The Supreme Court will deliver judgment today in the appeal filed by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Labour Party (LP) with its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, challenging the Court of Appeal verdict, which affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 election.

At the last proceeding on Monday, the apex court had reserved judgment, saying a date would be communicated to the parties. Yesterday, however, Director of Press and Information at the court, Dr. Festus Akande, confirmed that final judgment on the two appeals had been fixed for today.

Besides faulting verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), which affirmed Tinubu’s election, Atiku also filed for permission to tender a copy of Tinubu’s academic records released by the Chicago State University (CSU), which he said showed that Tinubu submitted a forged certificate to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The former vice president also sought to have a Washington D.C. court order the FBI to release documents on Tinubu’s $460.000 forfeiture case.
