The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) has ruled Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is the authentic winner of the 2023 presidential election.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports a 5-member panel of justices of the PEPT chaired by Justice Haruna Tsammani delivered the ruling on Wednesday.
The court said the petitions of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; as well as those of the Labour Party (LP) and its flag bearer, Peter Obi; challenging Tinubu’s victory lacked merit.
According to Tsammani in the lead judgment, the petitioner failed to prove their allegations beyond reasonable doubts.
“This petition accordingly lacks merit. I affirm the return of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the duly elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The parties are to bear their cost,” Tsammani said while passing the final judgement.
