ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s main opposition candidate in this year’s presidential election appealed a ruling that upheld President Bola Tinubu’s victory and asked the nation’s Supreme Court to declare him the winner instead, according to documents seen by The Associated Press on Tuesday.In the documents filed, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Atiku Abubakar, who came second in the election, said the appeals court which dismissed challenges against Tinubu’s election victory this month “erred in law” by not supporting claims of illegality.The appeal is the first of three expected from the opposing candidates challenging the election of Tinubu who is attending this year’s United Nations General Assembly as a first-time president.

Who is the Blackhawks captain this year? No one

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:09:45 GMT

CHICAGO — In one sense, the Blackhawks will not have a replacement for Jonathan Toews during the 2023-2024 season. On Tuesday morning, general manager Kyle Davidson announced that the team will not have a captain for the upcoming campaign as they continue their lengthy rebuild. Instead, the Blackhawks will have a rotation of alternate captains over the course of the preseason and 82-game regular season."The only plan right now is to sort of just let it breathe for a year. We came off such a successful tenure with Jonathan," said Davidson of the decision not to name a captain. "A little bit of it is just out of respect to Jonathan, to not fill that spot right away, and the other part is not to put that pressure on someone else when you're coming out of a period of such greatness. Blackhawks’ 2023 training camp includes a minor change for fans "You want the next person to be in a position to succeed, and there's no requirement to have a captain. We just felt that it was best to leav...
