• Pending case: Atiku Abubakar and the ADC have sued at the Federal High Court, Abuja (FHC/ABJ/CS/1888/2026) asking that Tinubu and the APC be removed from the ballot over an allegedly forged NYSC discharge certificate. Tinubu and the APC deny submitting any forged certificate and want the suit dismissed; INEC also objects to it. A hearing on Atiku's application to amend the suit was fixed for 13 October 2026.
