Nigeria’s supreme court will today start hearing of the petition by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Abubakar Atiku and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi. They are challenging the outcomes of the presidential elections of 25th February 2023 and seeking the nullification of the election. At the hearing, the supreme court expected to unveil a seven-member team to decide the case. After the elections in February, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was declared winner. Last month September 6th, the presidential election tribunal led by Justice Haruna Tsammani dismissed the petitions and affirmed the outcome of the February 25 elections. The supreme court is the last in the process of the election petitions and appeal and the country keenly awaits the conclusions of the process.
