The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday, thrown out a suit seeking the disqualification of Vice President Kashim Shettima by the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.
The party argued that Tinubu was improperly sponsored by the All Progressives Congress (APC) since he nominated Kashim Shettima as his vice-presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
APM claimed that Shettima was still the APC candidate for Borno Central Senatorial District as at July 14 when he was nominated for vice-presidential candidate.
However, the PEPT on Wednesday, ruled that it is a pre-election matter and therefore, lacks the jurisdiction to entertain the matter.
