APM suit against Tinubu may be the bridge for Atiku Abubakar to walk into the presidency.

1. June ....., 2022, Tinubu submitted form with Ibrahim Masari as "place holder" . Something unknown to the Constitution.

2. June 17, 2022. Deadline for submission of nomination

3. July 10, 2022, Mr. Shetima the Borno central zone candidate for senate was submitted by Tinubu, at the expiration of 3 weeks withdrawal notice to INEC by Masari.

Summary: Masari was submitted as the VP candidate before close of nomination. Shetima already holding the senate nomination accepted VP nomination after deadline for nomination. Only a fresh primary within 14 days could have produced a new ticket in replacement of the invalidated ticket.

Points of law:
1. Withdrawal of Ibrahim Masari as VP to Tinubu invalidates the joint Ticket (Read section 142 (1) of the Nigerian constitution and section 133 of the electoral ACT)

2. Substitution of Shetima did not follow due process. APC ought to have conducted another primary to produce their candidate within 14 days of Masari's withdrawal (See section 133 of the electoral Act)

3. Shetima's withdrawal when nomination has closed mean that APC had no candidate for Borno Central senatorial zone.

4. WIthdrawal of Masari and Shetima not properly nominated as VP renders Tinubus ticket invalid.

5. All votes cast in favour of Tinubu are wasted votes.

6. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the INEC declared Winner of the election.

1. Electoral Act.

The summary of all this crap is "Double nomination" and it's one of the petitions submitted by Peter obi.

Well It's an internal affairs of APC. Pdp has no legal jurisdiction to meddle in the internal affairs of another party.

This petition will be thrown out of court window. It's a mere academic exercise and gross abuse of court process

Nothing will be thrown out of the court window, all the petitions will be treated on its merits
One more thing, the case is in court

Wait until when the blink of a 🦀 crab.
