The Federal High Court in Abuja has rescheduled a hearing for September 28 in a suit filed by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is contesting President Bola Tinubu's eligibility to run in the 2027 presidential election. The suit, identified as FHC/ABJ/CS/1888/2026, claims Tinubu submitted a forged National Youth Service Corps certificate as part of his qualification documents.
Tinubu is the first defendant, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are the second and third defendants. Atiku's affidavit alleges the certificate, bearing the name "Tinubu Bola Adekunle," is a forgery and has been used by Tinubu since 1999 when he first contested the governorship of Lagos State.
The plaintiffs seek to determine whether they can enforce constitutional provisions regarding candidate qualifications, as well as whether Tinubu should be disqualified for presenting a forged certificate in the 1999 Lagos State governorship election.
