Supreme Court Affirms Tinubu’s Election Victory

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.

Recall that Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party came second and third respectively in the February vote, but rejected the result and called for Tinubu’s win to be annulled.

The two opposition leaders had appealed a Sept. 6 tribunal judgment that endorsed Tinubu’s victory.
