A petition seeking to nullify President Tinubu’s election over alleged non-compliance with the electronic transmission of results has been dismissed.
A 35-ground of appeal filed by Atiku’s lead counsel, Chris Uche, SAN, faulted the tribunal’s ruling on electronic transmission of results, Tinubu’s qualification for the election, Federal Capital Territory votes, among others.
He prayed the apex court to set aside the judgment of the lower court.
Supreme Court in its ruling on Thursday stated that:
a. When IREV fails, it does not stop the collation of results.
b. The non-function of IREV does not reduce voters’ confidence.
On these grounds, Justice Okoro said the application is hereby dismissed and refused.
