The Supreme Court has reserved judgement in the appeal by Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP) against the 6th September verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), which affirmed the victory of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last presidential election.
Justice John Okoro, who led a seven-member panel that heard the appeal, said parties would be notified when the judgement is ready.
Lawyer to the appellants, Dr. Livy Uzoukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), while adopting his written briefs, prayed the court to allow the appeal and grant the reliefs sought.
Malam Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN), for INEC; Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) for Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettma; and Mr. Akin Olujinmi (SAN) for the APC, urged the court to dismiss the appeal for lacking in merit.
Other members of the panel are Justices John Okoro, Uwani Abba-Aji, Lawal Garba, Ibrahim Saulawa, Adamu Jauro, Tijjani Abubakar and Emmanuel Agim.
