“On the whole, it is my view that there is no merit in this appeal,” Justice Inyang Okoro said.
Atiku had sought to overturn the judgment of the presidential election petition tribunal which affirmed Tinubu’s election as president.
Elated by the victory, Kadzai in a statement he personally signed said the ruling is a ”victory for Nigeria’s constitutional democracy and the rule of law”.
He said Nigeria’s democracy has been further strengthened by the faithful adherence of all parties to the electoral process and their reliance on the courts in the event of dispute.
“Congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima, on the judicial affirmation of the Supreme court victory. https://sundiatapost.com/2023-presidential-elections-supreme-court-affirms-tinubus-victory/

The practice of democracy in our nation has been further strengthened by the fact that all parties faithfully followed the electoral process according to the law and relied on our courts in the event of dispute”, the statement reads.
