… Both Obi and Atiku set to challenge the verdict at the Supreme Court.
In the wake of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal’s ruling, which solidified President Bola Tinubu’s triumph in the February 25, 2023, presidential election, Vice President Kashim Shettima expressed his gratitude, stating that the judgment is praiseworthy and a reason to glorify God.
Shettima extended his appreciation to the judiciary for their dedication to upholding justice.
The Vice President shared these sentiments during a press conference following the tribunal’s decision on Wednesday in Abuja.
The tribunal dismissed the case brought forward by Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, affirming Tinubu’s victory.
Both Atiku and Obi have voiced their dissent regarding the tribunal’s judgment. Kehinde Edun, the Legal Adviser to the Labour Party, declared their intent to challenge the verdict at the Supreme Court.
Furthermore, Chris Uche, SAN, Atiku’s Lead Counsel, disclosed that they have received instructions from their client to file an appeal at the Supreme Court.
He remarked, “The judgment has been rendered, but justice remains elusive in our view. Fortunately, the law allows us to appeal to the Supreme Court, and we have received instructions from our clients to do just that. The pursuit of justice continues.
