Prelude to the Best Sommelier of Canada Contest | SaltWireABUJA - Nigeria's two main opposition leaders on Monday asked the Supreme Court to quash last month's tribunal ruling upholding President Bola Tinubu's February election victory, in a last bid to reverse results of a vote widely accepted by the international community.
Elections in the past had been characterised by ballot box snatching, accusations of allowing unregistered voters to cast ballots, and completely made up results. On Sept. 6 the presidential tribunal rejected petitions by Atiku and Obi to cancel the election result over alleged irregularities. They also argued that Tinubu did not score 25% of the vote in the federal capital Abuja, which meant he did not meet the legal threshold to be declared winner.
