Led by Justice Jamil Tukur, the panel concluded that Owuru’s grievances regarding the 2019 presidential election were not only strange but also unwarranted since those grievances had already been pursued and dismissed by the Supreme Court for lack of merit.

Resurrecting a Case and Challenging the Supremacy of the Apex Court

Justice Tukur stated that Owuru’s decision to revive a case that had been settled in 2019 by the Supreme Court was an attempt to create a conflict between the lower courts and the authority of the apex court.
