The legal battle over the February 2023 Presidential Election will move to the Supreme Court
This was disclosed shortly after the verdict of the Presidential Election which affirmed the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress.
Atiku’s lead lawyer, Chris Uche and Obi’s leadlawayer Livy Uzoukwu both Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN), said they have their clients instructions to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
Uche said: “We have our client’s strong instruction to appeal the judgment.”

In the same vein, Obi’s lead counsel, Livy Uzoukwu (SAN) said: “Our clients are dissatisfied with the judgment just delivered. I have the firm instruction of our client to challenge the judgment on appeal.
“We have to be very careful in this country, otherwise electoral jurisprudence will disappear. When those who contest elections find it difficult to establish their case, they may resort to other means which might not be quite good.”
In the courtroom, Uche requested for a copy of the judgment from the panel.
But responding to the request, Mr Tsammani said the day had been long and that copies of the judgment would be made available to parties in the suit Thursday.
