On Friday, the Supreme Court is poised to deliver judgments on the governorship elections in Kano, Plateau, Lagos, Cross River, Ebonyi, Zamfara, and Bauchi states. Notably tense are Kano and Plateau, where incumbent governors face orders to vacate office from lower courts. Judgments for Ogun State remain pending.
In a separate ruling, the Supreme Court upheld the election of Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno.
The cases encompass a range of issues, including alleged unlawful nomination, illegal primaries, and certificate forgery.
Heightened security measures have been implemented to forestall potential violent protests.
