Nigeria opposition taking election challenge to Supreme Court

Nigeria’s two main opposition parties will go to the Supreme Court to appeal a ruling rejecting their challenge to Bola Tinubu’s February election victory, their legal teams said Thursday. Opposition parties had claimed various irregularities, from electoral authorities failing to properly upload results and fraud to Tinubu not meeting constitutional requirements to win the presidency. “I believe that with our hopes in God, we shall win the war of restoring confidence in our electoral system.” Atiku said.
