Why Atiku, Obi, and Tinubu's supporters think the tribunal would favour them

Their supporters are optimistic, but the presidency has dismissed the insinuation that President Tinubu would be unseated by the court, adding that the President is confident of victory because he won the election.

However, Akinwale urged that supporters of each top candidate maintain decorum in whichever way the judgment goes, avoid public disturbance and protect government properties.

He said:

"Protest is your right, but it is also the duty of security forces to maintain peace and address any violent protests."
