The Supreme Court in Nigeria has started to listen to the opposition's argument about the presidential election outcome from February 2023. Bola Tinubu won the poll, but his opponents, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, want the country's highest court to change the decision made by the Election Petition Court, which confirmed Mr Tinubu's win. The legal problem could make things worse and keep dividing the country based on political parties. It might take a couple of weeks for the seven judges on the Supreme Court panel to make a decision on the issue. If the higher court agrees with the lower court's decision, this would be consistent with what has happened before in elections in Africa's most populated country. In the past, there has never been a situation where the result of a presidential election has been changed. However, Abubakar has stated that he will provide the court with additional proof regarding the controversy surrounding the president's alleged use of a fake educational certificate as evidence of his eligibility. However, Tinubu is against the introduction of new evidence. He is asking the court to not allow his opponent to give more evidence for their new claim. The Election Petition Court said that the opposition candidates could not show that there were problems with the election. The judges said that the people who started the petition were not able to show evidence for their argument that there was too much voting and that some voters were stopped from voting.
