2027: Court gives Atiku 7 days to serve suit challenging Tinubu's eligibility on APC

The Federal High Court in Abuja ordered President Bola Tinubu to be served within seven days with a suit seeking to prevent him from contesting the 2027 presidential election due to alleged submission of forged certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Justice Inyang Ekwo approved substituted service of the legal process through Tinubu's political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), alleged that Tinubu submitted a bogus National Youth Service Corps discharge certificate.
