Atiku, Obi approach Supreme Court over Tinubu's victory at PEPC
Atiku and Obi have rejected the outcome of the election and filed petitions against the victory of President Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) but the trial court threw out their petitions over lack of merit.
The petitioner proceeded to the Supreme Court to appeal the judgment of the PEPC while Atiku traveled to the United States to unveil the academic records of Tinubu at the Chicago State University to justify his forgery allegation against the president but all were in vain as the apex court also threw out their appeals over lack of merit.
"I am proud of myself. I went for election, I won with your support. They took me to court, I won."
