A former presidential candidate has filed a petition urging the Supreme Court to remove President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from office. The petitioner, whose identity is yet to be officially confirmed, alleges that Tinubu’s election victory is fraught with irregularities and constitutional violations.
This move comes amid ongoing debates over the legitimacy of Tinubu’s mandate, following widespread concerns over the conduct of the 2023 general elections. The petitioner is seeking the intervention of the apex court to annul Tinubu’s presidency and call for fresh elections.
Legal experts anticipate that the case could reignite discussions about electoral reforms and the judiciary’s role in ensuring justice in Nigeria’s political system. The Supreme Court has not yet issued a statement or a timeline for hearing the petition.
The development adds another layer of complexity to Nigeria’s political landscape, as public reactions remain sharply divided along political and regional lines.
