Supreme Court Reserves Judgment In Peter Obi’s Case Against Tinubu

The Supreme Court on Monday reserved Judgment in the appeal filed by the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi against the victory of President Bola Tinubu.

The 7-man panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice John Okoro, reserved the ruling after hearing arguments from lawyers to the parties involved.

Lawyer to the appellants, Livy Uzoukwu (SAN) while adopting his written briefs, prayed the court to allow the appeal and grant the reliefs sought by his client.

However, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN), for INEC; Wole Olanipekun (SAN) for Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettma; and Akin Olujinmi (SAN) for the APC, urged the court to dismiss the appeal for lacking in merit.

Supreme Court Receives Conflicting Letters From Chicago Varsity On Tinubu’s Certificate

The Supreme Court, on Monday, stated that there are conflicting letters from the Chicago State University (CSU) on the certificate of President Bola Tinubu.

Naija News reports that the Chairman of the seven-member panel of the apex court, Justice John Okoro, stated this during the hearing of the application of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, filed against the victory of President Bola Tinubu.

Justice Okoro said one of the letters is authenticating the President’s certificate and another discrediting it.

The lead justice of the panel, therefore, said criminal matters have to be proven beyond reasonable doubt.
