Allegations that President Tinubu was not academically Qualified to Contest For Presidency and that he has drug case hanging over him in the United States were also dismissed for lacking in merit as it was a civil forfeiture procedure.

On the claim that president Tinubu did not score 25% In the FCT and so should not have been declared president, the court ruled that the spirit and letters of the law does not give FCT a special status, explaining that there was equality amongst all Nigerian citizens.

The justices ruled that there was nothing in the electoral act that made it mandatory for INEC to transmit results electronically as claimed by the petitioners.

The court also ruled that evidences by Mr. Peter Obi didn't prove that he Won The Presidential Election and that he could not substantiate with specific details at poling units, his claims of irregularities, suppression of votes and corrupt practices especially in Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Taraba, Osun states.

Other justices delivering the judgement include Stephen Adah, Mistura Bolaji- Yusuf, Biolokumo Ugo and Justice Aba Mohammed.
