[quote author=eldoradoxx post=124230250]I didn't celebrate, so don't generalize. From my small knowledge of law, only a political party that determines who is a member. Recently, Supreme Court decided in favour of Shettima that if you are not a member of a political party, you cannot question whatever happened during nomination. So how do you think that Tinubu can question how Obi was nominated. The Tinubu and APC are relying on a provision of the Electoral Act that mandates political parties to submit their membership register to INEC before primaries to argue that since Obi was not a member of the party as at the date LP submitted their membership register even though it was more than a month before the primaries, Obi cannot therefore contest in the primary or be nominated. They forgot that INEC only needs the register of members of a political party for the purpose of supervising the primaries and submission of register does not foreclose the party from admitting new persons into their party even on the day of the primaries, it's their internal matter.

[Great perspective bro.
Please can you point me to where I can read further on this provision to have a concrete knowledge? Thanks]
