Court dismisses suit seeking Tinubu’s disqualification from 2023 election over Muslim-Muslim ticket

Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday struck out a suit seeking the disqualification of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for choosing a Muslim running in next month’s election.

The judge delivered the ruling in a suit filed by an Abuja- based lawyer, Osigwe Momoh.

The lawyer had in the suit urged the court to disqualify the APC candidate from the election for picking the former Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, a Muslim from the North-East, as his running mate.
