The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja has dismissed the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) lawsuit against Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Bola Tinubu.
The tribunal’s chairman, Justice Haruna Tsammani, stated that double nomination was not a valid ground for disqualification in presidential elections according to constitutional sections 131 and 137.
Furthermore, he ruled that Ibrahim Masari, nominated as a placeholder by the APC for the Vice President position, was not a required party in the petition, as he wasn’t a candidate nor did he win the election.
