On September 6, 2023, the Presidential Election Tribunal nullified all the petitions filed by Mr Peter Obi the former Labour Party Presidential Flag Bearer, and Atiku Abubakar the former Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Flag Bearer.

The case was dismissed by Haruna Tsammani who led the five-member bench and said the petition filed against Bola Tinubu lacked merit.

He said that those filed petitions failed to prove that the President-elect was not qualified to contest the election.

He also struck out the petition that talked about the $460,000 forfeiture order of a US court issued against Tinubu that was related to drug trafficking in 1993 did not lead to a conviction so he is qualified to contest in the election.
