- Separately, ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking to disqualify Tinubu over alleged forgery of his National Youth Service Corps discharge certificate.

- Reacting to the suit, All Progressives Congress chieftain Joe Igbokwe dismissed the legal challenge as "childish" in a Facebook post, questioning Atiku's trustworthiness regarding Nigeria's treasury.
- ADC chieftain Fabiyi Oladimeji emphasized a newly formed coalition of 100 prominent political stakeholders, asserting that only Atiku has the capacity to challenge Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
