The Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja has dismissed the petition filed by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) challenging President Bola Tinubu’s election.
The head of the five-member panel, Haruna Tsammani, who delivered the judgement of the court, said the petition, anchored on the ground of alleged double nomination of Mr Tinubu’s running mate, Kashim Shettima, as a vice-presidential candidate and Borno Central senator, lacked merit.
The case is one of the three cases that the court, which began proceedings at 9.31 a.m. on Wednesday, will be deciding on today.
