Atiku is seeking the court's permission to amend an eligibility suit he initially instituted in August against President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
President Tinubu and the APC are opposing Atiku and the ADC's request to alter the ongoing legal challenge regarding the 2027 electoral eligibility. Justice Inyang Ekwo is presiding over the matter, which centers on the procedural steps leading up to the scheduled November 20 court decision.
