Justice John Inyang Okoro, who led a 7-man panel of Justices of the Court in Monday's proceedings, announced reservation of the final judgment after taking arguments from lawyers in the matter. Justice Okoro said parties in the matter would be communicated as soon as the judgment date is fixed. Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar on Monday at the Supreme Court insisted that President Bola Tinubu must be disqualified from the 2023 presidential election.
He predicated his request for Tinubu's disqualification on alleged certificate forgery and lying on oath. In the absence of outright disqualification, Atiku pleaded with the Justice John Inyang Okoro-led panel to order a rerun between him and Tinubu. However, Tinubu through his lead counsel, Wole Olanipekun SAN, asked the court to dismiss Atiku's claims of certificate forgery and lying on oath.
