Nigerian court orders substituted service on Tinubu in Atiku 2027 eligibility suit

A Nigerian court has ordered that Atiku Abubakar's 2027 presidential eligibility suit against President Bola Tinubu be served via substituted means through the APC, after direct service proved difficult. The ruling is procedural, not substantive, and the case's merits remain untested. It signals ongoing legal contestation over Tinubu's eligibility ahead of the 2027 election.
