The Presidential Election cases Tribunal will start considering the cases Monday of the next week that contest the declaration of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the president-elect of Nigeria.
This indicates that on May 8, a legal battle between contenders contesting the publicized results of the 2023 presidential election will begin.
The All Progressives Congress’ National Legal Adviser, Ahmad El-Marzuq, verified the date.
El-Marzuq claims that the APC’s legal counsel has received a briefing and is prepared to defend the party’s mandate.

On March 1, Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC’s chairman, formally recognized Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election.
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who received 6.9 million votes, Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who received 6.1 million votes, and 15 other candidates were defeated by Tinubu, who received 8.8 million votes.
Since then, Atiku and Obi have each filed a separate petition requesting that the election be declared invalid or that they be declared the winners.
