The Presidential Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja delivered its judgment today, the 6th of September, 2023. Specifically, the Court of Appeal finally determined the petitions separately filed by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and Labour Party (LP) against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the winner of the 2023 Presidential Election.
Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that though all eyes are on the Nigerian judiciary, those who are expecting wonders to happen at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday (today) may be disappointed and may have a quagmire to contend with. Ejiofor said this in a statement he personally signed and released on Tuesday night which he captioned, “Elucidation of Fact on the Pun called “Nigeria”: Though Very Unfortunate, But for those still expecting Manna to fall from Heaven tomorrow.”
EFCC says the Court of Appeal in Abuja erred in law by striking out the N1.35 billion charges against the former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, two of his sons, and other defendants.

The EFCC also assert that the appellate court’s overlook of the failure by the respondents to insert the names of other parties in their Notice of Appeal was grievous error, as Order 7 Rule 2(1) of the Court of Appeal Rules 2021 states that “all appeals shall be by way of rehearing and shall be brought by Notice of Appeal which shall set forth the grounds of appeal, the exact nature of the relief sought and the names and addresses of all parties affected by the appeal.
