Presidential Tribunal Affirms Shettima’s Nomination

 


The Presidential Election Petition Court has dismissed the allegation of improper nomination of Kashim Shettima by the All Progressives Congress.

The court said that the issues of disqualification was a pre-election matter adding that the only person so qualified to institute an action of that nature was a person who participated in the primary election process.

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) had asked the court to disqualify the vice president, claiming that at the time he was nominated vice presidential candidate he had not relinquished his nomination as the Borno Central Senatorial District candidate of the APC.

Going further, the court cited various precedents and relevant provisions of law to authenticate its position that it has no jurisdiction to entertain such claim.

The court declared the claim as an abuse of the court process incongruous with the long-standing practice of the court.

As at the time Shettima was nominated, the court said, he had validly ceased to be a senatorial candidate fielded by the APC.
