The Supreme Court has finally scheduled Thursday, October 26, for the delivery of final rulings in the two surviving cases contesting the validity of President Bola Tinubu’s declaration as the victor of the most recent presidential election.
These are the petitions that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, and Peter Gregory Obi, the Labour Party’s candidate, both filed.
Dr. Awemeri Festus Akande, the Supreme Court’s Director of Press and Information, verified the news on Wednesday.
According to him, sufficient security measures have been put in place to guard against security lapses both inside and outside the courthouse.
On Monday, attorneys for the parties to the petitions presented their closing arguments to a seven-member panel of Justices of the Court chaired by Justice John Inyang Okoro.
After that, the Justices decided not to provide a decision.
