Supreme Court Gives Date for Final Ruling on PDP Suit Against Tinubu, Shettima

AHEAD of the May 29th, 2023 Presidential inauguration of the winner of the February, 25th 2023 general election, the Supreme Court has fixed May 26 for the judgment delivery in a case by the People’s Democratic Party praying for the disqualification of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, and Kassim Shettima, the Vice President-elect.

Also, the party implored the court to reverse the Court of Appeal judgment, led by Justice James Abundaga, which held that the party failed to establish its locus standi.

Recall that the People’s Democratic Party and its candidates have approached the court seeking to reclaim the mandate from the APC’s Bola Tinubu. This is as other political parties including the Labour Party and its candidate, Mr. Peter Obi are pushing for the same mandate.
