The Supreme Court of Nigeria buzzed with anticipation today as high-profile dignitaries, including Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, gathered in anticipation of the day's proceedings.
The court is all set to hear the appeals of the presidential candidates from various political parties, notably Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), and the candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
These candidates are fervently seeking to nullify the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the APC in the hotly contested February 25, 2023, presidential election.
Among those present was the National Security Adviser of Nigeria, Nuhu Ribadu, a figure of significant influence in the nation's security apparatus.
The acting National Chairman of the PDP, Umar Damagum, was also observed among the attendees, underlining the gravity of the situation as the legal battle unfolded within the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court.
