Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday dismissed a bid by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his deputy, Kassim Shettima, from taking part in next month’s election.
The judge gave the verdict while ruling on an application filed by the PDP challenging the duo’s legitimacy for the election.
The party had in a originating summon asked the court to stop the former Lagos State governor from taking part in the February 25 election, claiming that Shettima’s nomination as his running mate violated Sections 29(1), 33, 35, and 84{1)}(2)} of the Electoral Act, 2022.
