In all of the appeals, the APC and Ododo defeated Ajaka and the SDP at the Kogi state governorship election petition tribunal, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.

Ajaka had attended the hearing of the Supreme Court in Abuja on Friday, August 23, but a viral video showed how he was attacked with stones and bottles after the hearing.

On the other hand, the SDP presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Adewole Adebayo, faulted the Supreme Court's ruling, saying a petition without error can only be found in heaven.

Adebayo wrote:

"I am saddened by today's judgement of the Supreme Court against @TheSDPNg in Kogi governorship election. We have highlighted the pitfalls of our democracy and let posterity be the judge. A petition that has no error can only be filed in heaven with God Almighty."
