Court adjourns Atiku's suit challenging Tinubu's eligibility

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, adjourned a lawsuit filed by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar seeking to disqualify President Bola Tinubu from contesting the 2027 presidential election. The proceedings were stalled due to a dispute over how to serve the President with the court documents. The case, brought by Atiku and his party, the African Democratic Congress, centers on allegations that President Tinubu submitted a forged National Youth Service Corps discharge certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
