The Nigerian Supreme Court has dismissed petitions by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, alleging that they failed to dethrone President Bola Tinubu. Justice Haruna Tsammani ruled that double nomination was not a constitutional ground for disqualification, and Obi and his party failed to prove election irregularities, non-compliance with laws, and corruption. The court also dismissed Obi's claim that he was not validly nominated by the Labour Party to contest the presidential election. The court also ruled that the $460,000 fine imposed on Tinubu in the US was a civil matter.
