Atiku’s appeal lacks facts, Tinubu tells Supreme Court

has urged the Supreme Court to dismiss the appeal filed by Atiku Abubakar challenging his victory in the February 25 poll.

In his respondent’s brief in the appeal by Atiku and the PDP, Tinubu urged the court to dismiss the appeal and affirm the judgment of the lower court which upheld his election.Stating that he was validly returned as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission , Tinubu added that he garnered one-quarter/25 per cent of the total votes in 29 states.

“The hyperbolic character of the forgoing allegations was exposed by the petition itself, which had no facts in support thereof. “While they also claimed to have won the highest number of votes cast at the election, as against INEC’s declaration, throughout their petition they did not suggest an alternative score which they considered correct, whether for themselves or the respondent.“Though they had alleged that the election was riddled with non-compliance and corrupt practices, the paragraphs of their petition putting up these allegations were nothing short of vague, imprecise, generic and nebulous.

“With these, it was obvious that the appellants did not intend to prosecute a petition, but rather, to venture into some form of blockbuster, laced with thrilling suspense, stunning surprises and ecstatic hide-and-seek recreational activities.
