“The problem with Nigeria is not the lack of institutions but the challenge has always been that the existing institutions have under-performed or have been hijacked, domesticated and used for certain group interests.“

Dear Active Citizen,

In a courtroom showdown that had the nation holding its breath, President Bola Tinubu emerged victorious as the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) gave him a nod of approval. 🏛️ But, there's a twist!

Atiku Abubakar, representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi of the Labour Party weren't exactly thrilled with the outcome. They raised their voices in protest, making this election drama far from over.

Court's Verdict 👨‍⚖️

A panel of five judges, led by Judge Haruna Tsammani, rendered a unanimous decision, dismissing the opposition's petitions. 📜 Why, you ask?

Burden of Proof 🔍

The court argued that Atiku and Mr. Obi couldn't convincingly substantiate their respective cases.
