The Presidential Election Petition Court has adjourned to Friday, May 9, 2023, the continuation of the hearing of the petition by the Allied Peoples Movement.
The court made the decision at the instance of the petitioners, who requested more time to take a stance on the status of their petition.
They are contending that Tinubu was not qualified to run for the presidential office because he did not have a validly nominated vice president, hence, he was not validly sponsored by the APC. The party stated that “the third respondent lost his candidacy and was no longer qualified to contest the presidential election. When the fifth respondent withdrew his nomination as the 2nd respondent’s vice presidential candidate for his said presidential election.”reported that the PEPC on Tuesday, May 30 adjourned the petition by the APM to Friday, June 2, 2023, following an observation by a counsel for the president, Wole Olanikpekun.
He referenced the Supreme Court’s decision of Friday, May 26, that dismissed the suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, which prayed the court to nullify the ticket that produced the president and his vice president on grounds of double nomination.
