The lead judgment read by Justice Tijani Abubakar held that Odii and the PDP failed to prove allegations of non-qualification to contest the election and non-compliance with Electoral Act, 2022 in the election.

The apex court also upheld the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Lagos, which earlier dismissed the appeal.
