The Supreme Court's registrar, on Thursday, issued the hearing notice for Atiku's, and Obi's appeals challenging President Tinubu's election.

The Supreme Court has scheduled next Monday, 23 October, to hear three appeals challenging the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Court affirming President Bola Tinubu's election.

In the document dated 18 September, Mr Uche contended that the presidential election court failed to adequately evaluate his client's evidence before reaching its conclusions.In another ground of appeal, Mr Uche told the Supreme Court that the lower court's conclusions"did not represent the true picture of the grounds of his petition".

The lawyer also said the lower court's conclusions caused a"grave miscarriage of justice" when it held that Mr Obi did not identify the specific number of votes he polled at polling units where he accused INEC and Mr Tinubu of suppression of votes. But the court, in its decision, held that they failed to prove their claims of electoral fraud against INEC and the president.Another political party, APM, lodged the third suit alleging improper nomination of Mr Tinubu's running mate and incumbent Vice President Kashim Shettima.There was a problem processing your submission.
