Tinubu won the election with 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who received 6,984,520 votes, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who received 6,101,533 votes.

After that, Obi, Atiku, and their respective parties presented the tribunal with a number of petitions.

A petition was also submitted by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), which, after calling one witness on Wednesday, brought an end to its legal proceedings.

Obi and the LP presented 13 witnesses before bringing their case to an end on Friday, in contrast to Atiku and the PDP, who called 27 witnesses before bringing their case to a close.

During the most recent session of the tribunal, the attorneys for all of the parties informed the judge that after consulting with each other, they had come to the conclusion that it would be more beneficial to postpone any further hearings until after the Muslim holiday, rather than commencing their defense on June 31, as had been indicated in the pre-hearing schedule.

"My lords, all of us took into consideration some significant factors," Wole Olanipekun, counsel to President Tinubu, stated. "In particular, we all took into consideration the fact that some of us will love to travel to celebrate with our families and loved ones."

Furthermore, it is anticipated that there will be a public holiday that lasts for two days the following week (this week). Therefore, we will make the request to your lordships that the case be postponed until after the Sallah holiday. We would also like to reassure your lordships that we will not extend our stay beyond the number of days that have been granted to us.

"We will begin our investigation and finish it up within the same week."

The request was approved by the panel of five justices, which was led by Justice Haruna Tsammani. The court will resume its proceedings on July 3 to continue the case.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, also known as INEC, is anticipated to make the initial statement in its defense.
