The petitions were filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and Allied Peoples Movement (APM). They allege that Tinubu was not qualified to contest the election due to a U.S. court ruling that ordered him to forfeit $460,000 for drug and money laundering-related offenses. They also allege that irregularities marred the election.
The court is expected to deliver its judgment later today.
