Nigeria don't nullify presidential election for obvious reasons. 2007 general election is the worst since 1999. See the judgments. Tribunal: ABUJA, Feb 26 (Reuters) - A Nigerian tribunal upheld the 2007 election of President Umaru Yar'Adua on Tuesday, rejecting challenges from rivals who wanted the vote annulled because of massive rigging. The tribunal in Africa's most populous nation ruled that opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, Yar'Adua's main opponent, had failed to prove that violations of the electoral law were substantial enough to invalidate the overall result. The five-judge tribunal also rejected a challenge brought by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who came third in the election that local and international observers said was marred by massive fraud. "Umaru Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan remain the president and vice-president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria," the ruling said. Had the vote been annulled, it could have risked destabilising the major oil exporter, which emerged just nine years ago from decades of army rule and has drawn increasing foreign investor interest. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.france24.com/en/20080226-nigerian-tribunal-upholds-presidential-election-result-nigeria Appeal Court: “Since the two consolidated petitions have failed, Umaru Yar Adua and Goodluck Jonathan [the vice-president] remain validly elected,” James Ogebe, the presiding judge, ruled. ‘Disappointment’ The two challengers plan to appeal to the Supreme Court, which could take several more months to deliver a final ruling. Abubakar, a former vice-president, said he was disappointed. “My reaction – and that of most Nigerians – is that of disappointment,” he told Al Jazeera. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2008/2/26/nigeria-court-upholds-poll-results Supreme court: The seven-justice court ruled that the two runners-up in the vote had failed to show evidence that graft was widespread enough to force an annulment. But the judges acknowledged flaws in the election, and chided politicians on their combative conduct in the vote and during legal challenges since. “We’re not saying that all went well in the conduct of the election,” said one justice, Niki Tobi, laying the blame on the country’s political elite. “The way politics is played frightens me. It’s a fight to the finish.” The ruling by the Supreme Court hands Yar’Adua an immediate political victory and strengthens his position by erasing the possibility that he could be replaced in a rerun of the April 21, 2007, election. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-af-nigeria-elections-121208-2008dec12-story.html 2 Likes 1 Share |

2007 presidential election is worst in this fourth republic Nigeria don't nullify presidential election may be because of the following: - High cost of conducting another Presidential election. - Logistics involved due to large population and vast territory. -The crises that may erupt after the annulment will engulf the whole country. June 12 1993 election annulment as a case study. The 2023 election is fair and Tinubu is the winner. But the oppositions need to know that Judiciary will not nullify the election. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

I don't know what wrong with some people. They play politics with emotion An election where 80% of governor can not return to their retirement post (senate) still some still claim it was rig. An election where the KKK state always favor the ruling party but lost Two of the K state. They still said it was rig. An election where the winner can't rig is stronghold to his favor. Still it was still rig. An election where new party perform 90% excellent in his region. Still the election was rig. An election where the ruling party forget to rig 25% for himself still it was rig. And so on and on. Because you like or vote for a particular candidates doesn't mean people don't vote against your candidate. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Biodun556:The judgement in layman's English is this even if we take out rigged results the winner still meet the criteria to win Same can't be said about 25% When 10,000 polling units results that had over voting according to the new law is removed would Tinubu still be declared winner ? The answer is no Remove his padded votes from river ,pleatue , Benue, kogi , Kauna, Ogun ..,obi won Hope uzodinma only challanged results from 350 polling unit in imo state ....but because the results from this 350 polling unit affectes the total results it was deemed substantial enough .... remember imo has over 12000 polling units I rest my case 1 Like |

The fact that yaradua was honest about how the election went doesn't mean it was the worst. Because I can see all these APC supporters always saying that rubbish. He was just an honest man that admitted the election was flawed. But you see this 2023 election, it was actually the worst. Atleast then people voted and there was rigging. In this year own, open threats, violence, insults, announcing the president elect in the midnight, not much celebration, ethnic profiling to the extent that even those that were yoruba were suspected to be igbos and refused them from voting! This is the worst election not just in the 4th republic but in the history of Nigeria 1 Like |

mrvitalis:That was a state election, we are talking of presidential, nationwide. it's different. 350 polling units, is a lot, when talking about state elections. It's all about ratios...If the judges can't see clear evidence that substantial venues or polling units were disrupted, the judges cannot annul the elections, it's common sense. |

Parachoko:Sorry but the adjective "best" can never be used to qualify any election that has ever taken place within the shores of Nigeria. Our best case scenario is to use the adjectives bad, worse and worst. Whether 2007 ooh, whether 2023 ooh, none of them could pass for a democratic process in an animal kingdom talkless of a human society. So let's assume we score the 2007 elections a 15 percent mark, we would score the 2023 elections an 18 percent mark. So you're right 2007 was worse than 2023. |
