Recall court denies melayes request against inec

You're referring to the recent development in the Nigerian political scene!

To recall, the Federal High Court in Abuja has denied the request of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from proceeding with the collation and declaration of the results of the February 25 presidential election.

The court, in a ruling delivered on March 22, 2023, dismissed the application filed by the PDP and Atiku, which sought to restrain INEC from declaring the winner of the election. The court held that the application was premature and lacked merit.

The court's decision was based on the fact that the election was still ongoing at the time the application was filed, and that the results were yet to be fully collated and declared. The court also held that the applicants failed to provide sufficient evidence to support their claims of irregularities and malpractices in the election.

The ruling has been welcomed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Bola Tinubu, who are expected to benefit from the outcome of the election. However, the PDP and Atiku have vowed to appeal the decision and continue to challenge the outcome of the election.

It's worth noting that the court's decision is not the final word on the matter, and the dispute over the election results is likely to continue in the coming days and weeks.
