Court to Hear Suit Against Tinubu's 2027 Candidacy
A Federal High Court in Kano has set September 21 for a mention in a legal suit aimed at disqualifying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from participating in the 2027 elections.

The case is officially marked as FHC/K/CS/312/2026, and all parties involved have submitted their processes in preparation for the upcoming court date. The defendants in the suit include President Tinubu, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and Chicago State University.
