In a 12-hour marathon judgement on September 6, the Presidential Election Petitions Court dismissed the petitions filed by PDP, the Allied Peoples Movement, the Labour Party as well as their presidential candidates challenging Tinubu’s victory.
The five-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani not only dismissed the consolidated petitions of the PDP, the APM, and the LP, but it also clearly affirmed the victory of Tinubu in the presidential poll.
But a week after the ruling, the PDP BoT rejected the verdict, saying it would resist alleged attempts by the APC to foist one-party rule on Nigerians.
In a communique issued after the 75th meeting of the board in Abuja, the acting Chairman of the BoT, Adolphus Wabara, expressed confidence that the apex court has the capacity and courage to right the wrongs and correct the errors contained in the tribunal judgement in the interest of the unity, stability and corporate existence of the country.
