The governors from Plateau, Bauchi, Kano, and Zamfara states have convened at the Supreme Court in Abuja, Nigeria. This judicial session is pivotal as the apex court is poised to pronounce verdicts on governorship election disputes involving at least seven incumbents, who secured their positions in the elections held last March and were subsequently sworn in on May 29, 2023.
Seated within the courtroom, Governors Abba Yusuf (Kano), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), and Dauda Lawal (Zamfara) are accompanied by their legal representatives. The anticipation is palpable as they await the arrival of the Supreme Court justices who will deliver the judgements.
The courtroom is abuzz with a sense of expectancy, as the audience, including former Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, eagerly awaits the entrance of the five-member panel of Justices, who are expected to take the center stage in just a matter of minutes.
