Court Permits Atiku to Serve Tinubu Alleged Certificate Forgery Suit Through APC
Alex Enumah in Abuja A Federal High Court in Abuja, has granted request by Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to serve President Bola Tinubu
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.
