The two petitions were displayed on the notice board of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal Secretariat in Osogbo on Monday, formally setting the legal machinery in motion.

The dramatic ultimatum came in a statement issued by the El-Rufai family following comments made by Musa during a live broadcast of Politics Today on Channels Television on September 3, where the Defence Minister accused the former governor of deliberately planning killings in Southern Kaduna during his eight-year administration.

Obi appealed on Monday in Abuja during the commissioning of the 2027 presidential campaign office of Oyo State Governor and presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Seyi Makinde.

Obi, speaking in a preview of an interview with ARISE Television aired on Monday, said his administration in Anambra delivered measurable progress in key sectors and demonstrated the kind of leadership Nigeria urgently needs.

The parallel warnings came against the backdrop of growing political mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections and renewed concerns about the ability of political actors and electoral institutions to guarantee a peaceful and credible contest.

Former Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu, on Saturday emerged as the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nasarawa State, exactly one week after his campaign organisation publicly protested against the publication of Mr Musa Angbazo as the candidate of the party in the state.

Baba-Ahmed, who was the running mate to Peter Obi on the Labour Party ticket in the 2023 presidential election, said the major politicians seeking to unseat Tinubu had, at different times, been part of the same political establishment they now claim to oppose.

Yakasai made the commendation at the official inauguration of the National Structure and State Chapters' Executive Committee members of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG), held at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, on Saturday.

Since Wednesday, August 19, 2026, the official kick-off of the presidential and National Assembly campaigns, and with the approaching September 9, 2026, electioneering date for the governorship and assembly candidates, three major political parties continue to dominate the polity in three vital areas: Issues, personality, and mobilisation.

Without a single party as a rallying platform, the G100 coalition proposed a framework of cooperation among the parties and framed their winning model of governance on a single four-year transition term.
