The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar, to challenge President Bola Tinubu's election.
The court dismissed this argument, saying IReV was not a result collation platform, therefore failure to upload results onto it could not have invalidated the election. "I am unable to find any figures put forward by the appellant that he scored the majority votes, other than the figures declared by"The votes before us show that the second respondent Tinubu won the election," Justice Okoro said.
On that basis, he said the judgement of the PEPC delivered on 6 Septemeber, affirming Mr Tinubu as the duly elected President of Nigeria"is hereby affirmed." The court held that it lacked the jurisdiction to entertain such evidence that was not tendered before the lower court.
