One of the major highlights of Wednesday's ruling was the judgement of the presidential election petition tribunal.
Justice Haruna Tsammani, leader of the five-person panel, said,
This petition accordingly lacks merit. I affirm the return of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the duly elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The parties are to bear their cost.
This particular statement was the final verdict of the tribunal at the Court of Appeal on Wednesday night, September 6. It further confirmed the victory of the ruling APC flagbearer at the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

Another interesting move by the Presidential court judges was the quashing of all the petitions challenging the legitimacy of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's victory.
The suit filed by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), PDP, APC and the Labour Party was dismissed by the court.
In fact, the tribunal also struck out a particular claim by Atiku Abubakar, the flagbearer of the PDP, alleging dual citizenship and drug conviction against Tinubu.
The tribunal cancelled Atiku's claims.
