Appeal Court dismisses PDP’s suit against Tinubu, Shettima’s nomination as APC’s candidates

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lost its appeal seeking the disqualification of the Bola Tinubu-Kashim Shettima ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 25 February election.

The party had urged the Court of Appeal in Abuja to hold that the APC’s presidential candidate, Mr Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, were not qualified to run for the election.

The PDP anchored its prayer on the grounds of alleged double nomination of Mr Shettima as APC’s vice-presidential candidate and the party’s senatorial candidate for Borno Central in the same election cycle.
