The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over hus victory at the Supreme Court.
The Informant247 reports that the Supreme Court on Thursday, dismissed the appeals of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, while affirming the election victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the February 25, 2023.
It was earlier reported that the Supreme Court through Dr Festus Akande, the Director of Information of the apex court on Wednesday, announced October 26 (Tomorrow) for judgment in the appeals by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidates of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP), challenging February 25 presidential election which produced President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It would be recalled that both PDP and LP had on Monday argued their cases before the apex court while the appeal of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and its presidential candidate, Chichi Ojei, was dismissed after they withdrew it.
