Additionally, three appeals related to Delta State will be heard, filed by Kenneth Gbagi of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Omo-Agege Ovie Augustine of the APC, and Peta Kennedy of the Labour Party (LP).


Wednesday's docket features four appeals, two of which pertain to Adamawa State, with filings by the candidate of the SDP and a counter-appeal by Ahmadu Fintiri of the PDP, the incumbent governor.


Thursday's proceedings comprise six appeals, two of which concern Ogun State and involve Oladipo Adebutu of the PDP and a counter-appeal by Abiodun Adedapo of the APC, the incumbent governor. Additionally, an appeal related to Cross River will be heard, filed by Prof. Sandy Onor of the PDP, along with two appeals regarding Akwa Ibom State, filed by Akpan Udofia of the Young Peoples Party (YPP) and John Akpan Udoedehe of the NNPC.
