The Supreme Court has given a judicial seal of approval for the inauguration of President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima.

The Court on Friday dismissed the suit by the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, seeking their disqualification from the 2023 presidential election.

The Apex Court held that the PDP’s suit praying disqualification of Tinubu and Shetima was grossly lacking in merit and dismissed it.


Justice Adamu Jauro who delivered the lead judgment slammed a fine of N2 million on PDP for poke nosing into the internal affairs of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the conduct of its primary elections and nomination of its candidates.

Justice Jauro agreed with Tinubu’s lawyer, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, that PDP acted as busy body and meddlesome interloper in the ways and manners it dabbled into APC’s affairs unjustly.

The Apex Court held that apart from the fact that PDP lacked requisite jurisdiction to institute the suit, the party also failed to provide scintilla of evidence that Shetima engaged in double nomination.

The claim of PDP on the alleged double nomination of the Vice President-elect was described as most unfortunate and a clear deliberate mischief to mislead the Court and the country.

The Supreme Court also agreed with Fagbemi that no matter the pains of PDP on how APC conducted its primary election and nominated its candidates, PDP must remain onlooker.

“It is abundantly clear that the Appellant (PDP) in the totality of its position in the instant case, is peeping and poke nosing into the affairs of another party as a busy body and meddlesome interloper,” he said.

The Court held that the action of PDP was painful because it used the social media to set a booby trap for the Supreme Court to blackmail it.

It said this is most unfortunate, unwarranted and uncalled for.

Take this to the bank, you an eternal fool.

Soloari:
You must be a fool if this is how you feel about the killings of innocent citizens.

OChimex:
Dude quit playing politics with everything. 125 humans slaughtered in just one night?
And that’s not the real figure. It’s much more than that.
Not even in Ukrainian Russia war have these number been killed in one night, yet Nigeria is not at war.
Yet the Evil Buhari or Tinibu hasn’t said anything? Same people so quick to congratulate Chef Hilda,
Nigeria is cursed with evil leaders and citizens.

Biodun556:
There are pointers to the fact that Peter Obi has connections with ipob terrorists.

The terrorists decided to honour Peter Obi presidential ambition and purse their terror activities in the South East. Now that their sympathizer, Peter Obi lost out, they have resume there devilish activities by killing innocent people for no reason

SOSinNigeria:
Lol, election is not over because the result is still disputed. Have you wondered why nobody is excited about your May 29?

No longer is looking forward to May 29 except the corrupt politicians and contractors.

Let's even assume that Tinubu is sworn in on May 29, then what? You guys are playing with fire. Something worse than #endsars is coming and it will start from Lagos, Abuja, P.H, Kano, Kaduna and Benin. Cities that never voted for Tinubu!

Let me see how corrupt and incompetent Tinubu will save an economy that is on the verge of collapse. To make matters worse for him, he has no one to blame since he belongs to the previous administration.
