President Bola Tinubu has asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the appeal filed by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging his victory in the 2023 presidential election.

The President described the appeal as abusive in nature and prayed for its dismissal.

President Tinubu insisted that Atiku and his party failed to prove all their allegations and submissions at the Tribunal.

Recall that Atiku and the PDP had filed a petition challenging the outcome of the presidential election and the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, in its judgment on September 6th held that Atiku failed to prove all the averments in his petition.

Now, Tinubu submitted that the tribunal was correct in arriving at its verdict and affirming his election.

He urged the apex court to affirm the decision of the lower court while dismissing the appeal in its entirety, as the same is lacking in merit and bona fide.
