Election Tribunal Throws Out APM Petition To Disqualify Tinubu

Justices of the Election Presidential Tribunal arrived at the court at about 9:27 a.m. to deliver judgment on three petitions that are seeking to remove President Bola Tinubu from office by the presidential candidates for the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi and the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, had on the first of March declared Bola Tinubu of the All-Progressives Congress as the president-elect after polling 8.8 million to defeat the PDP standard bearer, Atiku Abubakar, who scored 6.9 million, the LP candidate, Peter Obi, who polled 6.1 million and 15 other candidates.

Dissatisfied with the outcome of the polls, the major contenders-Atiku and Obi, asked the tribunal to nullify Tinubu’s victory.

The judgment is being delivered by the tribunal's Chairman, Justice Haruna Tsammani, assisted by other members of the panel-Justices Stephen Adah, Monsurat Bolaji-Yusuf, Moses Ugo, and Abba Mohammed.

Present at the tribunal to witness the verdict by the court include Vice President Kashim Shettima, chieftains of the Labour Party (LP), governors, chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)

The APC governors are Kogi, Yahaya Bello; Nassarawa, Abdullahi Sule; Imo, Hope Uzodimma; Ekiti, Biodun Oyebanji; and Yobe’s Mai Mala Buni.

Tribunal Dismisses Suit For Disqualifying Shettima

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed a suit brought before it by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), in which they sought the disqualification of Vice President Kashim Shettima.

The APM argued that the All-Progressives Congress (APC) had improperly sponsored Shettima by nominating him as the vice-presidential candidate for the election.

The opposition party claimed that Shettima was still the APC candidate for the Borno Central Senatorial District on July 14 when he accepted the nomination for the vice-presidential candidate. However, in its ruling on Wednesday, Justice Haruna Tsanani of the PEPT declared that the APM's suit, which revolved around the alleged multiple nominations of VP Shettima, fell under the category of a pre-election matter and therefore lacked the jurisdiction to entertain it.

The court also held that the APM lacked the necessary legal standing to institute matters on the nomination and sponsorship of Shettima and described it as an abuse of the court process.
