Buhari Wins As Supreme Court Dismisses Atiku’s Suit
Attempt by the candidate of Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2019 presidential election to invalidate the election of President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday suffered set back as Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Atiku challenging Buhari’s victory in the election.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Muhammad, who led six other members of the apex court’s panel, delivered a three-sentence judgment which put paid to the legal dispute over the poll.
The CJN, who said the reasons for the decision of the court would be made known on a date to be announced, disclosed that he and members of the panel had read all the documents and exhibits filed in the case for two weeks and found the appeal to be lacking in merit.
The judgment which was unanimously consented to by the other six members of the panel came less than an hour after the court took arguments on the appeal.
