A Federal High Court adjourns a suit filed by Atiku Abubakar and the ADC that challenges President Bola Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the 2027 presidential election. The court’s schedule is pushed to October 2026, after the applicants request changes to their court papers.
Premium Times reports that Atiku and the ADC seek permission to amend their originating application, citing the need to correct errors in the initial filing. The Punch similarly says the case is adjourned while the applicants move to amend their suit, but both outlets frame the development around procedural steps rather than a ruling on Tinubu’s eligibility. Neither source indicates that the court has yet decided the merits of the challenge. The next stage is expected to occur when the matter returns in October 2026, following the amendment process.
