The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned until October 13, 2026, to hear a motion to amend the originating summons in the suit filed by ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress against President Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, and the Independent National Electoral Commission. The case, FHC/ABJ/CS/1888/2026, centers on Tinubu's eligibility to contest the 2027 presidential election, with the plaintiffs challenging an alleged discrepancy in a National Youth Service Corps discharge certificate.
The court had previously granted the plaintiffs permission to serve Tinubu through the APC, but the APC challenged this decision. INEC has also filed a response to the suit, questioning the plaintiffs' competence and alleged abuse of court process.
