Supreme Court Will Do What It Did In The Case Of Uche Nwosu And APC - Joe Agim
By Christar4 (self media writer) | 13 days ago
The PDP filed a suit seeking the disqualification of APC's Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima in the February 25th presidential election. They alleged that Shettima accepted the nomination to be Tinubu's running mate at a time when he was still the APC candidate for Borno Central Senatorial District and it amounts to a double nomination which contravenes the electoral act.
However, speaking to the press, PDP's lawyer Joe Agim said the Supreme Court will determine whether PDP has the legal right to institute the case against APC and whether there was a double nomination. He also said the Supreme Court will do what it did in the case involving Uche Nwosu and APC
In Agim's exact words: "180 days does not apply to this case because the matter was decided on merit at the High Court and Court of Appeal so we are not going back there. Supreme Court will determine whether there was a double nomination and also whether we have locus standi. "Supreme Court will do what it did in the case of Uche Nwosu and APC, so they will do it again".
