Tinubu’s Victory: 6 States Drag FG To Supreme Court

Six states: Adamawa, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, and Sokoto have dragged the federal government before the Supreme Court over the conduct, collation, and announcement of the February 25, 2023, presidential and National Assembly elections.

The States want the Supreme Court to declare that the pronouncement of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, as the winner of the February 25 presidential election be voided by the court.

They argued that the entire results of the Presidential Election announced by the Chairman of INEC at the National Collation Centre, Abuja, is in flagrant violation of the provisions of the Electoral Act.
