The supreme court has dismissed the suit seeking the disqualification of Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima as presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A five-member panel of the supreme court, led by Justice Adamu Jauro, on Friday, May 26, held that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lacked the locus standi to institute the suit.
Justice Jauro added that the main opposition party acted as meddlesome interloper and a busy body in the case.
It is pertinent to note that the PDP claimed that Shettima's nomination as Tinubu's running mate was in breach of the provisions of sections 29(1), 33, 35, and 84(1)(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022.
The opposition party argued that Shettima's nomination to contest the position of vice- president and Borno central senatorial seat, at same time, contravened the law.
