Two of the justices agreed that the election was won by the PDP while one judge dissented.

Ezekiel maintained that the petitioner was able to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt.

Present at the court were x-Governors Abdullahi Adamu, Tanko Al-makura among other political dignitaries present at the court.
