The Federal High Court in Abuja has set October 13 for a hearing in an application seeking to amend a suit filed by presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC. The plaintiffs are challenging Tinubu's eligibility to contest the 2027 general election, claiming he presented a forged certificate when he first ran for Governor of Lagos State in 1999.
The suit argues that the Nigerian Constitution bars Tinubu from running for President if he presented a forged certificate. Atiku's lawyers argue that INEC cannot disqualify Tinubu without a court order. The plaintiffs claim they are being unfairly denied their constitutional right to challenge the alleged forgery.
