Inyang Okoro, justice of the supreme court, spoke on Friday while delivering judgment in an appeal filed by the PDP seeking to void the election of President-elect Bola Tinubu on the grounds that his running mate, Kashim Shettima, was guilty of double nomination. Okoro held that the appellant tried to mislead the apex court by claiming that the lower court found that there was indeed a double nomination.“The appellant stated to this court that the court below found that there was indeed double nomination and that the 4th respondent knowingly allowed himself to be nominated in two constituencies,” Okoro said.
“For public policy sake, I must state that indeed the 4th respondent withdrew from the nomination for Borno central district on the 6th of July 2022 exhibited as exhibit APC 1 on page 58 of the record of appeal.“The political party sent to the INEC same 6th of July, 2022 the notice of withdrawal.
