Supreme Court is set to hear the appeals filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), its presidential candidate, in the February 25 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.

Mr Abubakr is challenging the judgment of the presidential election petitions court, which affirmed the election of President Bola Tinubu.

The apex court will also hear the petitions filed by the Labour Party, its presidential candidate, Peter Obi and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), all challenging the tribunal’s judgment.

The panel of justices hearing the appeals is headed by Justice Inyang Okorowo.

The national security adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the chief of staff to the president, Femi Gbajabiamila and the All Progressives Congress (APC) chair, Abdullahi Ganduje, are among the top politicians present in court to witness the proceedings.
