The Supreme Court has dismissed the suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking the disqualification of Bola Tinubu as a candidate in the last presidential election.
The suit, which alleged the inappropriate nomination of Mr Tinubu’s running mate for the February 20223 presidential election, Kashim Shettima, impliedly sought to stop the president-elect from being sworn in as president on 29 May.
A five-person panel led by Inyang Okoro dismissed the suit unanimously on Friday.
Adamu Jauro, a member of the panel who delivered the lead judgement, held that the PDP lacked the legal right to file a suit on an internal affair of APC.
“It should be noted that no political party can challenge the nomination of another political party.
