Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's legal challenge against President Bola Tinubu's eligibility to run in the 2027 presidential election faced a setback on Tuesday. The Federal High Court in Abuja adjourned the case pending resolution of service issues. Atiku's counsel, Joseph Silas, explained that they had been unable to personally serve Tinubu with the court summons.
However, Tinubu's lawyer, Omosanya Popoola, offered to accept the court process on behalf of his client. Popoola requested that Atiku's counsel hand over the originating summons to him in court for delivery to Tinubu. This led to a disagreement between the two legal teams. The matter was adjourned until September 28, 2026, for the lawyers to regularize the service of the court process.
