The Nation Newspaper Supreme Court: Tinubu scored highest votes in 2023 election, says Justice Inyang Okoro

The Supreme Court of Nigeria on Thursday, October 26, said that President Tinubu had the highest votes in the 2023 presidential elections, adding that Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi were unable to prove that they secured a higher number of votes than President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.

The Supreme Court upheld the election petition court’s judgment where it stated that “the table referred to by the petitioners is the table of results declared by the first respondent. There is no other set of results placed before this court by the petitioners to form the basis of our finding or the fact as to whether the declared results are wrong or not.”

The Supreme Court also affirmed the ruling of the election petition court, which noted that “Section 134 of the 1999 Constitution talks of the highest number of votes cast at the election if the contest was among more than two candidates as in the instance case, not majority of votes cast as propounded by the petitioners.
