The court has begun to hear cases that question Tinubu's win.
Today, Monday, the Nigerian Electoral Court started hearing the case against incoming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's win in the election on February 25. The case is about whether or not Tinubu should have won.
After the AA party decided on Monday not to challenge Tinubu's win in the February election, there are now 4 parties fighting Tinubu's win. They are the main opposition party PDP, the LP, the APP, and the APM.
At the first meeting, a group of lawyers from different fields got together to start hearing concerns about this year's election, which includes the general election of the president, governors, and members of the federal and state assemblies.
During today's court session in Abuja, which was run by 5 judges led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, the court promised to handle the case properly and not violate anyone's rights.
In his speech Bola Ahmed Tinubu before the cases were heard, Mr. Tsammani told the lawyers who were defending each side to keep and use the style that would make the trial last longer.
He said that the court hearings need to pay attention to the time because election problems are things that change over time.
Haruna Tsammani, Stephen Adah, Bolokuoromo Moses Ugo, Abba Mohammed, and Miss Bolaji-Yusuf are the judges who will be in charge of the case.
Wole Olanipekun, the lawyer for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria's new president-elect, told the court that they are ready to work with the judges to speed up the hearing.
