Tinubu and Shettima
The Supreme Court has struck out a suit seeking the disqualification of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu and his vice president-elect, Kashim Shettima, over alleged double nomination.
The appeal was filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through their counsel, Mike Ozekhome (SAN).
The PDP had alleged that Shettima had double nomination as senatorial candidate for Borno Central Senatorial District and vice-presidential candidate under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
But in a ruling Friday, the Supreme struck out the case.
Cases of double nomination had earlier been settled by the Supreme Court in matters of Senator Godswill Akpabio and Ahmad Lawan, the President of the Senate, both of whom contested the Presidential ticket of the APC and still went ahead to clinch the senatorial tickets of their party, the APC.
