The Supreme Court will on Monday [Oct. 23] hear the appeals against President Bola Tinubu’s election in February.
The Court served hearing notices to Peoples Democratic Party’s [PDP], Atiku Abubakar; Labour Party’s [LP], Peter Obi and the Allied Peoples Movement’s [APM] candidate Chichi Ojei on Thursday.
The notices were signed by the court’s registrar, Zainab Garba.
The three rival candidates are challenging the result of the last presidential election that favoured Tinubu and the verdict of Nigeria’s presidential election tribunal that quashed their case and upheld Tinubu’s election on September 6.
Atiku and Obi came second and third respectively in the presidential election.
Nigerian law states that the Supreme Court has 60 days from the date of the tribunal’s verdict to deliver its judgment. The 60-day timeline would elapse on November 5.
