COURT GIVES JUDGMENT ON TINUBU'S DISQUALIFICATION AS APC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking the disqualification of Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, and Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.

It asked the court to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to prevent Tinubu and Obi from replacing their running mates, Kashim Shettima and Datti Baba-Ahmed, with Kashim Shettima and Datti Baba-Ahmed, respectively.

The party requested that Tinubu and Obi be disqualified unless they run with their previous running mates, Kabiru Masari and Doyin Okupe.
