The Supreme Panel unanimously held that the judgement of Justice Nworgu has substance.

The apex court, therefore, agreed with the argument of counsel to Ibrahim Umar, Henry Bello that the Appeal of the APC is an academic exercise.

Other appeals before the Supreme Court were adjourned till May, 2019 because it is not a pre-election matter.

But there are fears as the Independent National Electoral Commission may be in a fix because of the interpretation of today’s ruling.
