By Musa Baba Adamu

The Supreme Court is set to deliver final judgements in the two surviving petitions challenging the legality or otherwise of the declaration of President Bola Tinubu as winner of the last presidential election today.

They are the petitions filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart in the Labour Party, LP, Peter Gregory Obi.

The Supreme Court’s Director of the Press and Information, Dr Awemeri Festus Akande, confirmed the development yesterday.

He said adequate security arrangements have been put in place to prevent security breaches both within and outside the court premises.

The Justices thereafter reserved their judgments.
