The Supreme Court on Monday reserved judgements in the appeals filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and that of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, challenging the declaration of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the February 25 presidential election.

Atiku and Obi separately attacked the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court , which dismissed their petitions against the conduct of the 2023 presidential election and its outcome. A seven-member panel of justices of the apex court, headed by Justice I. John Nyang Okoro, reserved judgements in the appeals for a date that would be communicated to parties after the adoption of the processes filed in the matter.

The presiding justice, Justice Okoro, observed that the issue of conflicting documents from the same institution is a serious criminal act that ought to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. After hearing the appellants' motion to admit fresh evidence and the objections by the respondents, the court directed the parties to adopt their briefs of arguments on the substantive appeal and thereafter reserved judgement for a date that would be communicated to the parties.
