BREAKING: APC Spits Fire As Supreme Court Reserves Judgment In Atiku, Obi’s Appeal (DETAILS)

The Supreme Court reserved its judgment yesterday in the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) challenging the Court of Appeal’s decision that upheld President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.

Justice John Inyang Okoro, heading the panel overseeing the appeal by both parties, deferred judgment following their presentations.

“Court cases are won on the strength of cogent, credible, compelling or substantial evidence, not on hollow, implausible, capricious tales and fabrications of the kind that Atiku Abubakar dumped on the court, in the guise of a ‘body of evidence’, evidencing nothing,” APC said in a statement by National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.

It added: “PDP must also be thoroughly deluded to imagine that it can get through the court what it deservedly failed to get through the polls. Its claim that the election was ‘manipulated’ against its candidate is both ridiculous and insulting to millions of Nigerians who voted massively for the APC and its candidate, now President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

Uche said: “We are praying for an order of leave to present fresh evidence on appeal, pursuant to the powers of the Supreme Court, particularly the depositions on oath from the Chicago State University.”

He urged the court to grant the motion and allow their appeal, grant the prayers sought, and disqualify Tinubu.

Justice Okoro stressed that the case was of great public importance. However, he wondered if the evidence Atiku sought to tender was not geared towards establishing an allegation that has elements of crime.

Noting that there were contradictory documents relating to the CSU certificate, Okoro said: “This is a criminal offence, which ought to be resolved beyond reasonable doubt. So, when you see this kind of discrepancies, I don’t know how we can resolve it.’’

“This is a serious matter. It is not to admit the document that is difficult, but after that, what do we do with it? Are we going to draft a charge and ask someone, did you forge these documents? That notwithstanding, we are here to do justice, and there is no room to cover anything.”

Mahmoud, Olanipekun, and Olujimi urged the court to dismiss both the motion and appeal for lacking merit.

The court also reserved judgment in the appeal filed by Peter Obi and his party against the tribunal’s judgment affirming Tinubu’s election.

The seven-man panel, after listening to submissions of the parties, said a judgment date would be communicated to them.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition by Allied People’s Movement (APM) against the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election. This followed an application for withdrawal by the counsel to APM.
