However, Delivering Judgement in the suit, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensan, the President of the appellate court, dismissed the appeal because APM lacked the legal right to initiate the lawsuit.
The judge who dismissed the appeal for lacking merit awarded a cost of N200,000 against APM in favour of Peter Obi and the Labour Party.
