Atiku, Obi to appeal tribunal's verdict at Supreme Court
Meanwhile, the petitioners have rejected the tribunal's ruling and vowed to seek redress at the Supreme Court.
The petitioners, in turn, requested the immediate release of the certified true copies of the tribunal's judgment.
However, the release of the CTC took more than 48 hours while the document's content sparked a fresh controversy.
It was gathered that the watermark header of Tinubu's legal team was found across the document.
This development had fuelled allegations that the president's legal team might have written and prepared the verdict announced by the tribunal.
