The Labour Party’s Peter Obi and the Peoples Democratic Party’s Atiku Abubakar are disputing President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the February 25th presidential election before the tribunal.

Tinubu was named the winner of the last presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Atiku and Obi, on the other hand, accused INEC of preferring Tinubu and indulging in electoral malpractice, which resulted in the president’s victory.
