The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has filed 10 grounds of Appeal before the Supreme Court challenging the decision of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), asking that the victory of President Bola Tinubu, be nullified.

In a notice of appeal filed by its new counsel, Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, the APM is asking the apex court to set aside the judgment of the PEPC for it called its numerous errors in law.

The party said that sections 131 and 142 (1) of the 1999 Constitution are inextricably linked and neither can be confined as a pre-election matter, as these qualifications are conditions precedent to, for being elected into the office of President.

The appellant’s petition was not one founded solely on nomination, but primarily that President Tinubu contested the presidential election without a lawful running mate.

The party added that the withdrawal of Ibrahim Kabir Masari and the expiry of the 14 days permissible for changing, withdrawing, or dead candidates under Section 33 of the Electoral Act 2022, made Tinubu’s election and return, invalid.

According to the party, the PEPC abandoned its duty and jurisdiction of hearing and determining its question of whether President Tinubu and Kashim Shettima were “validly elected” to the office of President and Vice President under the Constitution.
