Apart from claiming the election was rigged against him, Atiku also made efforts to get President Tinubu sacked on allegations of certificate forgery.
His efforts, however, failed to yield any positive results as the Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the tribunal and affirmed Tinubu's victory.
The court also threw out the appeal filed by the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
