The Supreme Court is bracing for the hearing of three petitions challenging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's election victory, with heavy security measures in place.
Unaccredited lawyers and litigants are being turned away from the court premises, and only authorized legal representatives for Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are granted access.
Notable figures, including the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, APC National Chairman Umar Ganduje, and others, have taken their seats in the courtroom. The atmosphere is notably tense, and the usual banter among politicians is absent.
However, anxiety prevails due to the uncertainty surrounding the panel members who will preside over the petitions.
