The PEPC dismissed the petitions filed by Obi and Atiku on the grounds that they did not present any evidence to justify their claims against the victory of President Tinubu in the general election.
On his part, Atiku voyaged to the United States and sought the academic records of President Bola Tinubu at the Chicago State University through a magistrate court. His prayer was granted, and he accused the president of presenting a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Supreme Court speaks on Atiku's evidence from Chicago State University
Atiku has presented his conclusion as new evidence before the Supreme Court, but one of the judges of the apex court, during the hearing, pointed out that two letters from the Chicago State University are contradictory.
But the court on Wednesday, October 25, announced that Atiku, Obi and Tinubu would know their fate on Thursday. Reacting to the announcement, the Labour Party's candidate's camp, Peter Obi Media Arm (POMA), said:
"There is a calculated albeit desperate attempt to have the Supreme Court deliver Judgement on Peter Obi and Atiku’s petition to forestall admitting fresh evidence on Tinubu’s criminal records set to be released by the FBI sooner.
"This corruption is striking and stinking!"
