Nigeria’s Election Court To Rule on Challenge To Tinubu’s Victory September 6

Nigeria’s Presidential Election Petition Court has scheduled Wednesday, September 6 as the date to make its decision on three petitions that contest the declaration of Bola Tinubu as the victor in the 2023 presidential election.

The petitions under consideration pertain to the submissions made by Abubakar Atiku, the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), along with Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and also the one from the Allied People Movement (APM).

It was also stated that television stations that wish to broadcast live coverage of the Court will be permitted to do so without incurring any charges. However, certain restrictions will be imposed in the vicinity of the Court premises to ensure security, prevent security breaches, and manage crowds.

Umar Mohammed Bangari, the Chief Registrar of the Court of Appeal, has officially verified Monday as the scheduled date and provided reassurance that all necessary arrangements have been made to guarantee a smooth and trouble-free legal process. 

Bangari suggested that comprehensive security measures have been implemented, ensuring that only individuals from political parties who have been formally invited and members of the public with invitations will gain access to the courtroom. This arrangement aims to prevent overcrowding and maintain security integrity.

Political parties including the PDP, LP, Action Peoples Party (APP), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), and the Action Alliance (AA), filed individual petitions with the tribunal in an attempt to invalidate Tinubu’s win in the 2023 Presidential Elections due to dissatisfaction with the results.

Nevertheless, both the APP and AA retracted their petitions once the pre-hearing session began in May.

Amongst other contentions, the petitioners asserted that Tinubu’s declaration as the winner of the February 25 election was unjustified due to his inability to secure 25 percent of the votes cast in the federal capital territory (FCT). 

Additionally, they contended that both Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, the vice-president, were ineligible to compete in the presidential election.
