The Supreme Court will commence hearings on the appeal by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, October 23, 2023.
Atiku, who came second in the election, had approached the presidential election tribunal to nullify the February 25 election, in which the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Bola Tinubu the winner.
The tribunal, however, dismissed the petition for lack of merit.
