On Monday, October 23, the Supreme Court reserved its judgment on the PDP and Atiku's appeal against the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), which was delivered on September 6.

The PEPC dismissed the petition of Atiku and the PDP on the grounds that it lacked evidence to back up their claims and uphold the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.
