“Though the judgement of yesterday is respected, it is a judgement I refused to accept. I refused to accept the judgement because I believe it is bereft of substantial justice.”
The verdict passed by the tribunal was also rejected by the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as their petitions were also dismissed for lacking merit.
Both parties and their candidates are expected to file an appeal at the Supreme Court.
