A five-member panel led by John Okoro dismissed the application on Thursday on the grounds that the Supreme Court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain such evidence that was not tendered before the lower court.
According to Mr Okoro, as of the time Atiku brought the document, the trial Presidential Election Petition Court had lost jurisdiction to hear Atiku’s petition challenging Mr Tinubu’s election. Mr Okoro wondered why Atiku sought to tender the fresh evidence when the grounds of his appeal had nothing to do with forgery against the president.
The Justice explained that Atiku’s attempt to introduce the fresh evidence was aimed at reversing the gains made in speedy adjudication of electoral disputes that had been marred by prolonged hearings.
