The Supreme Court on Wednesday delivered its first ruling against the People's Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Vanguard reports.

Atiku and his party are before the apex court to challenge the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the February 23, 2019 poll.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, who leads the seven-man panel of the apex court, in the lead ruling consented to by other members, overruled Atiku and his party’s request that their seven interlocutory appeals should be heard after the main one must have been argued.

The seven-man panel held that it would be unnecessary to hear the interlocutory appeals when a judgment on the main appeal marked SC.1211/2019 would cover the field.

After the Apex court ruling that declared the All Progressive Congress candidate, Muhammadu Buhari as the legitimate winner of the 2019 Presidential poll, reactions have since been trailing on the social media over what the opposition party described as 'an infringement on the goodwill of Nigerians'.

Vanguard gathered some of the reactions as follows:

Judiciary hijacked by dictatorial cabal — Atiku

Mr Abubakar, the main challenger to President Muhammadu Buhari at the election, said the top court has been hijacked by Mr Buhari’s dictatorial tendencies, even though he accepted its verdict.

According to him, the ruling showed the Supreme Court had also been undermined and rendered ineffective as part of Mr Buhari’s alleged repressive tactics.

While noting the media and the electoral commission were not spared by the president.

“If we do not build a free Nigeria, we may end up destroying her, and God forbid that that should be the case,” he said.
