The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of President Muhammadu Buhari. In a unanimous judgment on Wednesday, the apex court upheld the September 11 judgment of the Justice Mohammed Garba-led Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal which affirmed President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the polls.
The seven-man panel of the apex court led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Tanko Mohammed said the panel agreed that there is no merit in the appeal filed by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The CJN added that the panel has been reviewing the case for the past two weeks.
Justice Tanko further said that reasons for the dismissal of the appeals shall be given on a later date.
The PDP and its presidential candidate were challenging the September 11 judgment of the Justice Mohammed Garba-led Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal which affirmed President Buhari’s victory at the polls.
