The tribunal commenced the pre-hearing of all petitions filed by various opposition parties seeking to overturn the election of President-elect, Bola Tinubu, in the February 25 presidential poll.
Obi, who emerged third in the election, had approached the court to cancel the election on the grounds that the President-elect and Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima, were not qualified to run for the election.
The pre-hearing session is a procedural process in which the tribunal considers the various petitions and determines if there are sufficient grounds to proceed with the case.
