Presidential gladiators: L-R; Tinubu, Atiku, Obi
The Supreme Court has reportedly fixed tomorrow, Thursday, October 26, 2023 to deliver judgement on the appeals filed against the election of President Bola Tinubu by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and that of the Labour Party (LP) and its Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi.
The Director of Information of the Supreme Court, Mr Festus Akande confirmed the information to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.
The Supreme Court had on Monday reserved its judgment on the two appeals after dismissing dismissed that of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), following its withdrawal by the party’s lead counsel, Mr Chukwuma Machukwu-Ume, SAN.
Justice John Okoro, who led six other justices of the seven-man panel, announced that judgment had been reserved, shortly after lawyers representing parties in the appeal, identified and adopted their various processes in the appeal.
“Judgment is reserved to a date that would be communicated to parties”, Justice Okoro held.
While Atiku represented by Chief Chris Uche and Obi’s lead lawyer, Dr Livy Uzoukwu SAN, both urged the court to allow their separate appeals and nullify Tinubu’s election, all the respondents urged the court to reject the appeal and uphold the judgment of the presidential election tribunal which affirmed the declaration of Tinubu as President.
