In a two-hour judgment, read by the Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice A. H. Suleiman, the tribunal described the sitting as successful based on evidences presented to it.

The leading counsel to Senator Uba Sani, Barrister Frank Ikpe, said the Tribunal upheld the election of his client based on the evidences before it.
