Deji Adeyanju, a political activist, on Monday hinted that
the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal may not invalidate the nomination
of Labour Party, LP, Presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
This was as Adeyanju said the tribunal might not do the same
with Vice President Kashim Shettima for double nomination.
Tweeting, he said the tribunal could invalidate President
Bola Tinubu’s candidacy for double nomination.
According to Adeyanju: “Will be extremely surprised if the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal does not invalidate the nomination of Peter Obi by LP in line with the provisions of the EA on membership register.
“The Double nomination of Shettima is also enough to
invalidate Tinubu’s candidacy.”
In May, the Supreme Court had struck out a suit seeking to
disqualify Tinubu and Shettima due to alleged double nomination.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, brought the suit before
the apex court, stressing that Shettima had a double nomination as senatorial
candidate for Borno Central Senatorial District and vice-presidential candidate
under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
