The petitioners, led by their chief counsel, Edwin Okoro, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), contended that the election was tainted by widespread rigging and irregularities involving Goje, the APC, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In their ruling, the three-judge panel, presided over by Justice Biobele Georgewill, endorsed the tribunal’s decision and dismissed the petition, stating that the petitioners did not provide sufficient evidence to substantiate their claims that Goje had participated in the PDP primary election.
