The five-man panel of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, on Wednesday, upheld the election of Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election.

This development followed petitions filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party and its candidate, Peter Obi, challenging the victory of Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission on March 1.

According to Justice Haruna Tsammani,  “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.”⁣
