The Presidential Tribunal has been the focal point of intense legal battles in recent months, with the Labour Party (LP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), along with their respective presidential candidates, all petitioning the tribunal.
The verdict to be delivered on September 6th will not only have profound implications for the political landscape of Nigeria but will also serve as a litmus test for the country’s democratic institutions and their ability to ensure fair and just electoral processes.
