However, the Supreme Court concluded in a sitting on Friday (today) that the appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence of over-voting and noncompliance with electoral laws.
Due to time constraints and the need to address appeals from other states, the justices have opted for a summary judgment.
They are currently preparing to deliver judgment in the case of Social Democratic Party (PDP) VS PDP in Delta, as well as the cases involving the Labour Party and the PDP, both still pending in Delta as of the time of filing this report.
