The judge ordered the eligibility suit instituted by Atiku to be served on Tinubu through substituted means. The post Court orders Atiku to serve Tinubu with 2027 eligibility suit through APC appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria .
A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted President Atiku Abubakar's request to serve President Bola Tinubu court documents challenging his eligibility for the 2027 general elections through the All Progressives Congress (APC). The case, filed last month against Tinubu, the APC, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), alleges that Tinubu submitted a forged certificate to INEC in 1999 during his first run for Lagos State Governor.
Plaintiffs Atiku and the ADC argue that Tinubu and the APC are ineligible for the upcoming election based on this forgery. The court initially stalled the hearing but later granted the plaintiffs' motion for substituted service, allowing the court documents to be served through the APC.
