Unless there are any unforeseen changes, it is anticipated that the presidential tribunal in Abuja will issue its verdict on Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
This decision comes after the tribunal, on August 1, 2023, decided to withhold its judgment regarding the petitions lodged by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi.
The tribunal made this decision following the conclusion of the parties’ final written arguments. Atiku and Obi are contesting the declaration of President Bola Tinubu as the victor of the February 25 election.
Registrar Umar Bangari from the Court of Appeal has confirmed this date in a telephone interview, stating, “Yes, September 6 has been scheduled for the tribunal’s judgment, and we are currently preparing an official statement to that effect.”
