Court dismisses suit filed by PDP against APC's Tinubu, Shettima

  • The Court of Appeal has given a fresh judgement in the case filed by the opposition PDP against APC’s Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima
  • The court, in the new ruling, held that the suit lacked merit to question the APC’s choice of candidates in the just concluded poll
  • The PDP had challenged the validity of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket, arguing that Shettima’s nomination was in breach of the provisions of Sections 29(1), 33, 35 and 84(1) (2) of the Electoral Act, 2022

The Abuja division of the Court of Appeal has reserved judgment on an appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to nullify the nomination of Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima as presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In the appeal, the PDP is seeking a setting aside of the January 13 judgment rendered by Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Abuja division of the Federal High Court.
