Supreme Court Fixes Monday To Hear Atiku’s Appeal Challenging President Tinubu’s Victory

The supreme court has fixed Monday, October 23 to hear the appeal filed by the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the judgement which affirmed the election of President Bola Tinubu.

The court sent out hearing notices to the counsels for the respective parties on Thursday.

Atiku had filed additional materials, including the recent deposition of the registrar of the Chicago State University, to support his arguments that president Tinubu submitted false academic claims in his INEC nomination form.

Tinubu’s lawyers, on the other hand, have asked the apex court to ignore the submissions of Atiku on the grounds that the statutory period for the submission of evidence has since closed.

The Supreme Court has until November 6, 2023, to give a final judgment on the appeal.

Details soon….
