The petitions were filed by the Allied Peoples Movement party and two presidential candidates — Atiku Abubakar, of the center-right Peoples Democratic Party, and Nigerian businessman Peter Obi — who came second and third in the presidential vote, the local newspaper reported. The Nigerian presidential election took place on February 25. Tinubu won with over 8.7 million votes in a tight competition, while ex-vice president Abubakar received over 6.9 million votes and Obi got around 6.1 million votes, according to the data of the independent electoral commission released on March 1.
