Briefly reacting to the judgement on the premises of the Supreme Court after the proceedings on Thursday, Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and one of the leading lawyers in PDP’s legal team, said in an apparent displeasure, “One word: Nigeria is a work in progress.”Also reacting, Kenneth Okonkwo, a counsel for the Labour Party, criticised the judgement which he said failed to “interrogate” the documents submitted as evidence.

He insisted that the failure to upload the results of the election onto IReV reduced the credibility of the election. “The only paragraph that the Supreme Court has brought to the notice of the world is that, not uploading the results on IReV reduced the confidence of the people, ” he said.
