“Presidential Petitions will be in favour of Tinubu” – Tolu Bankole

Member of the All Progressives Congress National Working Committee, Tolu Bankole, has expressed strong conviction that the outcome of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal slated for Wednesday will be in favour of President Bola Tinubu.

Bankole’s vote of confidence was a reaction to viral reports in the media that pressure was being mounted on the judges to disqualify the president.

The five judges that will deliver the verdict are the Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Haruna Tsammani; Justice Stephen Adah of the Court of Appeal (Asaba Division); Justice Monsurat Bolaji-Yusuf, Court of Appeal (Asaba); Justices Moses Ugo (Kano) and Abba Mohammed of the Ibadan Division of the Court of Appeal.

Recall that the tribunal had earlier announced that it will on Wednesday, deliver judgment on the petitions challenging the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
