The seven states had asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the recently concluded general elections in the suit, which had the attorneys-general of the seven states as plaintiffs and the Attorney General of the Federation as defendant, claiming that Tinubu’s declaration did not follow the Electoral Act and INEC’s own laid down guidelines, particularly the uploading of results to the IREV through the BVAS. They also expressed concern about a possible breakdown in public order and civil disobedience.
