NigeriaDecides2023: Presidential Election Petition Court registry opens in Abuja

Ahead of Nigeria’s presidential election this Saturday, 25 February, the Presidential Election Petition Court registry has opened in Abuja, the country’s capital.It is a statutory responsibility of the Court of Appeal, which coordinates post-election litigations, to set up the tribunals and open them for business ahead of elections.

The interim secretary of the presidential election court, Adamu Mohammed, told this reporter on Thursday that “the registry opened for business in line with the law last Saturday, 18 February.” He also revealed that election petition tribunals have opened their registries across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.

The situation is similar at the Court of Appeal where the President, Monica Dongban-Mensem, disclosed recently that the court was adjudicating on 600 pre-election suits with less than 100 judges.
