Nigerian Supreme Court confirms President Tinubu’s election win
Nigeria’s Supreme Court on Thursday upheld President Bola Tinubu’s election win, bringing to an end a legal challenge brought by his two main rivals, who argued that his victory was marred by irregularities.
The ruling will give the 71-year-old Tinubu a clear mandate to govern Nigeria.
The judgment by seven Supreme Court judges, which is final, follows a pattern seen in previous presidential elections that have been challenged in court. None of the attempts to overturn results through the courts has been successful.
“There is no merit in this appeal, and it is hereby dismissed,” said Supreme Court judge John Okoro.
