The Nigerian Supreme Court has announced that it will today, Thursday October 26, will finally deliver judgement in the appeals lodged by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party (LP), counterpart, Peter Obi.
The Director of Information of the Supreme Court, Dr. Festus Akande, confirmed the date yesterday.
The appeals challenge the result of the February 25 election, which led to the victory of President Bola Tinubu. Both the PDP and LP presented their cases before the apex court.
Recall that both PDP and LP had on Monday argued their cases before the apex court. At the same time, the appeal of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and its presidential candidate, Chichi Ojei, was dismissed after they withdrew it.
The Presidential Election Petitions Court had on September 6 dismissed both parties’ petitions for lack of evidence, but Obi and Atiku filed appeals.
